Common Nature is a new Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to reviving our connection with nature. When we feel deeply connected to something, we care for it. By growing a nature-connected culture, and embedding it into our policies and institutions, we are working towards a future where caring for nature is part of who we are.

We believe in a bright future for people and nature
