Peter ANDREWs' XMAS Message

Dear Supporter,

We would like to thank you for raising your hand to be a part of the campaign for the Restoration of the Australian Landscape by 2030. Together we will share with the world the incredible blueprint that the ancient Australian landscape offers to all of us.

Since the campaign was initiated, we’ve had many thousands of people viewing, sharing and responding to the call. 

Much has happened in a short period of time, including:

• I have met with Government officials, including the Prime Minister and the Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, to discuss government funding for restoration projects.
• I have been travelling around Australia to advise local groups and farmers on drought-proofing their land and properties.
• We've initiated a 'Whole of Landscape' restoration stakeholder group that includes scientists, informed individuals, representatives and seasoned practitioners of the 'Whole of Landscape' restoration approach.
• We've set up The Australian Landscape Science Institute Limited (TALS Institute).

Catch up on the story by watching:

• “Hope Springs” on ABC's Australian Story; and
• "The Incredible Blueprint of the Australian Landscape",

or read my latest article 'Australia's Land Managers can lead the world in climate recovery'.

The Australian Landscape Science Institute (TALS Institute)

With your encouragement, we've established The Australian Landscape Science Institute (TALS Institute) - to take the ‘Whole of Landscape’ restoration approach mainstream.

The purpose of TALS Institute is to restore environmental functions and processes in the landscapes - by recognising the best outcomes in the worst conditions.

Utilising modern science, based on observations of Australian landscape efficiencies, the team at TALS Institute is ready to initiate a major landscape transformation throughout Australia, utilising the world’s best laboratory - the Australian landscape itself.

TALS Institute actively supports:

• 'Whole of Landscape' Advisory Panel
• 'Train the Trainers' program
• ‘Boots on the ground’ with natural infrastructure projects

As I can't do all this work alone, please note that some of our future correspondence will be through TALS Institute. One of our urgent tasks for the New Year will be to respond to the many inquiries I have received. In particular, we're interested to know more about how you would like to be involved.

I have very much appreciated the many kind and thoughtful comments that you have left for me.

​WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL XMAS AND A HAPPY & RESTORATIVE 2019!
