Healthy Landscapes, Thriving Communities Initiative: Explained
A collective initiative for the protection, restoration and long-term stewardship of Lutruwita/Tasmania’s natural landscapes.
How the initiative started
In May 2026, funders and leaders from the conservation and Palawa communities came together to talk about current campaigns and opportunities for greater impact. Out of those conversations came a proposal for a new collective initiative, for funders, NGOs, Palawa and local communities, built on the idea that caring for Country and community flourishing go hand in hand.
What happens first
The initiative begins with a six-month scoping exercise: mapping the great work already underway, the gaps, and what a long-term collective approach needs to succeed. From there, we’ll bring together a shared vision, strategy and three-year, multi-organisational workplan.
Questions we’re exploring together
What’s already happening: who, with what capacity, what progress and what next?
What needs help, and which critical pieces of work or networks are missing?
What’s the winning strategy for healthy landscapes and healthy communities under a collective impact approach?
Who we’d love to meet
First Nations knowledge holders, ENGOs, community groups, local communities, government, business, finance, philanthropists and civil society groups. If you care about a healthy future for landscapes and communities in Tasmania, we’d love to hear your ideas and explore how you might be involved.
How to get involved
As a part of the scoping exercise, we have created two surveys to gather information about what work is already happening, what critical gaps exist, and what is needed for a long-term collective approach to succeed. Your support in filling out a survey will help us shape what is to come next.
A comprehensive strategy and collective approach will be far more effective than groups acting in isolation, unlocking the greater funding and impact that Lutruwita/Tasmania’s landscapes and communities need.
