Sophie 's bought a 7.5 hectare property in SA which is classified as arid to semi-arid, with less than 350mm of rain a year. It’s baking hot and dry in summer and freezing in winter but she likes the challenge and intends on planting thousands of native plants in an area which was badly degraded by farming practices. By this, she will counteract some of our continual biodiversity loss.

ALL OF US can take small to large actions. Even if you just have a balcony, by planting a few native plants which are sympathetic or endemic to your area you may make the difference to an invertebrate species and with that, make a difference to local native birds and reptiles. If you have a small garden you can do more, and on and on. If you are not the gardening type you can donate to organisations which are restoring habitats and landscapes. You can get involved with landcare groups or support native and vegetable gardens in your local schools and communities, physically, financially or by helping with admin tasks.

With all our climate challenges, plus now war in our midst and possible food shortages in the future, we have to think ahead and do whatever we can to protect those who bear the brunt of a situation they have not caused
