Arid Recovery Tour
Arid Recovery is an ecosystem restoration initiative based in the South Australian outback and dedicated to the restoration of Australia’s arid lands.
Established in 1997, the project is centred around a 60 square kilometre fenced reserve from which all feral cats, rabbits and foxes have been eradicated.
This has provided an area of complete protection into which four species of locally extinct mammals have so far been reintroduced.
Arid Recovery is a unique example of a highly successful partnership between industry, government, education and community via the four way partnership that supports Arid Recovery.
