Our inland river catchments are preserved, productive, sustainable and secure… for all… forever.

Desert Channels Foundation is a public fund that partners with community and landholders to invest in and preserve the natural resources and spectacular landscapes of the Queensland section of the Lake Eyre Basin.

Since 2009, we have:

• Funded research for the endangered Night Parrot

• Preserved re-emerging springs to help the rare Edgbaston Goby fish make a comeback

• Invested in soil, water and biodiversity across the Georgina, Diamantina and Thomson-Cooper catchments

• Developed awareness and educational campaigns to stoke a passion for the Lake Eyre Basin;

• Partnered in rehabilitating habitat for the Julia Creek Dunnart; and

• Witnessed the Waddi Tree (Australia’s loneliest tree) bounce back all across the Outback. 

We are a small organisation, but we believe you don’t have to be big to be effective.  And neither do your donations.  Your contribution, no matter how small will help us roll up our sleeves and continue to invest in the Desert Channels region for communities now – and for generations into the future.
