It was previously known as the Australian Bush Heritage Fund, which is still its legal name. It's vision is: Healthy Country, Protected Forever. It works under three Impact models: 1.
* Purchasing land (see 'Reserves' heading below), assessed as being of outstanding conservation value, from private owners, to manage as wildlife reserves in perpetuity. 2.
* Investing in partnerships with Aboriginal groups, who are often owners of vast estates. Bush Heritage supports the development and implementation of Healthy Country Plans. 3.
* It partners with farmers to support conservation work and aims to have an influence over 10 million hectares of agricultural land by 2030. It does so to protect endangered species and preserve Australia's biodiversity.
