Australia Can Restore Its Environment for 0.3% of GDP, Report Finds

A comprehensive blueprint outlines 24 actions to repair degraded landscapes and save threatened species over the next 30 years.

The Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists proposes a $7.3 billion annual investment to repair Australia's environment.
Key actions include restoring 13 million hectares of native vegetation and improving agricultural soil productivity.
The plan also emphasizes the importance of Indigenous land management and traditional knowledge.
Restoring ecosystems could abate nearly one billion tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions.
The investment is projected to support employment and generate significant economic benefits.
