World-class environment vision to 'bring back the species'

sidents to engage in this important work.

A vision you can see "from space"

"Species extinction is predicted to be severe in the Mt Lofty Ranges, with 50% of woodland bird species facing regional extinction because there is not enough native vegetation to support their populations," Dr Paton says.

"Ten species are already extinct in the Mt Lofty Ranges and a further 60 species continue to decline in numbers despite the cessation of vegetation clearance in the 1980s. Climate change will exacerbate these losses," he says.

"This will be a terrible loss for all South Australians, but it is avoidable, if suitable and resilient habitats are re-established. Our work is not just about revegetation but about reconstructing complex habitats to secure the region's biodiversity.

"The work at Glenthorne will extend across the Mt Lofty Ranges, effectively making the Ranges part of a regional multi-species recovery program the likes of which the world has never seen.

"We want this to be something South Australians can be proud of. One hundred years from now, we want the results of our work to be visible from space," Dr Paton says.

Glenthorne Trust Fund

The success of this initiative will be dependent on the University's ability to raise the funds needed to turn its vision into a reality.

The University estimates that it will cost a minimum of $20 million to establish the Woodland Recovery Initiative at Glenthorne over the first five years, with at least $5 million per year required to sustain the project over the following decades.

"We have a bold vision for Glenthorne and the Mt Lofty Ranges, but that vision does not come cheaply," says the University's Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor James McWha.

"In order to achieve our vision and ensure that the work conducted there is sustainable over many generations, the University of Adelaide will establish a G
