Our regional reach
We work across Queensland’s diverse bioregions with targeted strategies for effective conservation and improved biodiversity.
Queensland has 13 bioregions, from coast to desert and tropics to cool southern highlands. Each has its own landscape patterns, climate zones and distinct groups of plants and animals.
At QTFN, we focus on ecologically significant spaces, species and wildlife corridors across these bioregions for maximum impact – working on private, public, QTFN-owned and Traditional Owners’ land.
