Bush Buds: Discover the wonder of Canberra’s nature!

Canberra is known as the Bush Capital for a reason. We are lucky to share the Territory with many amazing plants and animals – some found nowhere else on earth! But our nature is in trouble. The world is facing an extinction crisis and now, more than ever, the plants and animals that make the Territory special need a friend.

Join us in calling for Canberra’s political decision makers to adopt a Bush Bud,  learn about the nature that makes our region so special and commit to its protection. Find fact sheets for over 30 threatened species from our region below.
