Nature Foundation’s science program and its governing principles are set out in our Science Strategy 2025-2030. This strategy facilitates the growth and development of terrestrial ecological science to benefit Nature Foundation, our nature reserves and the broader Australian community.
The Science Strategy underpins all of our conservation work whether it is on our nature reserves or our managed partner properties.
Nature Foundation funds research through research grants, prioritising research that aligns with our science strategy and focusing on our nature reserves and threatened species.
