At this time of year, wildflowers burst through red soil at Eurardy Reserve in mid-Western Australia, blanketing the landscape in colour.
But this only happens when the conditions are right; thankfully good rain had fallen earlier in the year. With climate change shifting rainfall patterns across much of Western Australia, I hold immense gratitude for every season we watch this event unfold.
“There are entire countries with less floristic diversity than Eurardy,”
said flora ecologist Dr Fiamma Riviera as we walked the reserve. Every pop of colour was a reminder of nature’s resilience and the urgency of our work.
Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to protect this living canvas and the species that call it home for 20 years.
