Greening Australiaright Greening Australia is an Australian conservation organization, founded in 1982, the International Year of the Tree, to preserve and protect Australias native vegetation. In the 1980s tree cover decline was acknowledged as having a serious adverse impact on agricultural and pastoral productivity. Removal of tree cover was also linked the development salinity, soil degradation and erosion and declining water quality. Greening Australia has been involved in many restoration projects since its inception, including the National Tree Program, the One Billion Trees Program, and Green Corps providing trees, techincal advice and education, volunteer coordination and funding for restoration projects. On World Environment Day 1998, Greening Australias work was recognised with admission to the United Nations Environment Program Global 500 Roll of Honour. External link
