Bush Heritage Australia invites you to join us for a thought-provoking networking breakfast, featuring inspiring female leaders providing their perspectives on achieving economic and environmental health for a nature positive future.

Across the world, businesses and governments are responding rapidly. Those that integrate sustainability, natural capital goals and complex climate issues into their decision-making are trailblazers in demonstrating that financial return occurs in conjunction with protecting biodiversity and the natural world.
