Associate Professor David Paton AM from the University of Adelaide will spearhead a world-class project to help revegetate the Mount Lofty Ranges, to stave off the effects of climate change and halt the loss of bird, animal and plant species. The multi-million-dollar program aims to:
- help re-establish native vegetation to 30% of the Mt Lofty region - an unprecedented scale globally
- prevent the loss of native flora and fauna
- promote the return of some native species that have disappeared across the Ranges
- provide major environmental outcomes that will benefit the State and local communities for generations to come
