About Us

Bio·R was born from a need for a non-profit to drive the restoration of woodlands in heavily cleared landscapes of South Australia to arrest the ongoing and imminent decline of native species.

We secure long-term funding for restoration, promote the research necessary to deliver successful habitat reconstruction and reconnect people with a feeling of community by fostering pride, ownership and a love for our natural heritage.

We’re based in Adelaide, South Australia.

Our Vision

A biodiverse future.

Our Mission

To reconstruct habitats for wildlife at the scale and complexity required to ensure our biodiversity is secure for the future.

Our Approach

Large-scale, science-based, project-based learning, local, community-focussed, intergenerational.

Our Values

Engaging, inspiring, passionate, ethical, inclusive.

Our Team

Meet our Directors and the young, passionate people leading our work.

Governance & Finance

Bio·R is a registered charity with the Australian Charity and Not-for-profits Commission. A copy of our constitution, annual information statements and our independently-audited financial reports can be downloaded from our ACNC page.
