In January 2026, The Nature Restoration Alliance Australia Inc (NRAA) was formerly incorporated. The new entity reflecting the desire of the Restoration Decade Alliance to continue beyond the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. As an incorporated organisation the NRAA is governed by a Board, drawn from the Steering Committee Members.
pre-eminent restoration organisations who have come together to harness the power of the Decade. We aim to make a real difference in reducing degradation and increasing the extent and quality of restoration in Australia, contributing to the global effort. Our member groups have worked magnificently as separate organisations over the last 40 years - now it is time to create a united voice and add value to our collective work through collaboration.

the NRAA as an exceptional opportunity to consolidate restoration and development activities to restore land and carbon across Australia. The EGA develops major regional land and carbon restoration programs, supports a Campaign to foster the sequestration of 20 billion tons of CO2 per year by 2050, and is part of a Council of more than 70 Fellows with extensive experience in land and carbon restoration. I am a Director with EGA and the Restore Australia program, and my colleague Sally heads up the Alliance’s Media and Communications Team."
we aim to rehydrate landscapes using world-class scientific research, education and demonstration in partnership with rural communities, First Nations and collaborators to rebuild climate-resilient landscapes that provide food and water security and support healthy ecosystems.
Australia and supporting recreational fishers to take part in those works. Ecological restoration is hard, costly and time consuming and the best way to make it happen is through good partnerships. The NRAA is a great partnership that allows us to share our knowledge and work together to make the policy and program changes needed to deliver the ecosystem restoration that is needed."

PCA is an association of people and organisations dedicated to the conservation of Australia’s native plant species and vegetation communities, which are part of our living national heritage and underpin the health and productivity of our continent. We have over two decades of experience in presenting training courses and bringing the best science and practical experience together in a form accessible to on-ground practitioners."
to protect, connect and restore healthy landscapes and ecosystems across 3,600km of eastern Australia. The Nature Restoration Alliance (NRAA) provides an invaluable forum for other like-minded conservation and NRM organisations to combine efforts in the common pursuit of meeting the critical goals of the UN’s Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. For our part, GER will provide a platform for promoting connectivity conservation and for driving greater regional coordination at the local level whilst creating corridors of restoration impact across multiple landscapes."
on Ecosystem Restoration cannot be understated, this Decade can, and will be, one of action. I am excited to see the NRAA use the collective expertise, energy and reach of its member organisations to translate the vision of the Decade into genuine momentum. To achieve the required impact to protect and restore Australia’s precious biodiversity and tackle climate change, we need to act at an unprecedented scale. I am encouraged by the green shoots of the Alliance, which build on the extensive experience of its participating members so that together, we can collectively deliver a far greater impact than we could acting alone."
by supporting the Alliance members. Their knowledge and integrity is inspiring and motivating. Unifying their voices under the Alliance and leveraging their capacity is needed more than ever to ensure our natural ecosystems can survive in a climate changing future "
