A message from Peter Andrews OAM, 7 December 2021 For over forty five years, I have sought the best examples, assessed by the most rigorous science, demonstrating how the ancient Australian landscape reveals a blueprint for global climate recovery. The evidence for this science has accumulated over the longest time, millions of years, across the oldest and largest area possible, the Australian continent, and is measurably accounted for in the fossil and sedimentary records. Now, it is time for the world to discover the incredible blueprint for climate recovery that this ancient land ..read more

Dear Australians,  ​Typically when disasters occur that impact on vast numbers of people's lives, homes and livelihoods, an independent body is appointed by the government to provide coordination of the best knowledge and solutions.  When public expenditure is necessary to mitigate such disasters, it is the government's responsibility to affect such management.  The environmental events over the last few years have certainly created the need for an independent body appointed by the government to provide the coordination of the best information, options and solutions in the a ..read more

Anzac Day calls us to remember that our forebears fought, and many died, for Australia. Since then, Australians have fought other battles. After the last drought, the fires came. The extreme energy fluxes resulted in floods. Before humans came, this continent was managed by plants. They deployed ecological strategies that virtually eliminated the chance of fire, flood and drought. Remnants of these processes can still be seen in our landscapes. The ways they work can be understood if we apply counterintuitive thinking, because they are largely opposite to how we manage our land today. We ..read more

Tarwyn Park in Bylong… eroded landscape. Tarwyn Park in Bylong… restored landscape. The Australian landscape contains the blueprint we need to lead the world on climate recovery. It is true that over the past 200 years, the impact of humans, animals and plants has left us with many ecosystem failures, but in enough cases it also provides evidence of the solutions. By restoring one third of its degraded farmland, Australia could be carbon neutral within ten years. The estimated annual value of the world's ecosystem services is over US$33 Trillion. This is more than 1 ..read more

This message sets out key points I have understood over the past 40 years and contains a request.   The environment contains many unknown processes, for example what microbes do in the soil or how water moves nutrients and living compounds around the landscape. There are however, numerous processes evident across Australia that supported this land to flourish automatically. For good decisions to be made on climate management strategies, it is necessary for decisions to be consistent with these ancient processes and the basic science that formed them.   When making decisions, the fol ..read more

Smoke lingers over suburban Sydney, while bushfires continue to burn. It’s tragic. It’s predictable. And it’s preventable. Australia has always been dry. But for millions of years, natural processes managed the landscape. Water was plentiful, and temperatures were stable. This made devastating fires rare. How did nature do it? And can we fireproof the continent again? To answer the first question, we need to look at the relationship between plants, water, soil and heat. Anyone knows from personal experience that sweating cools you down. The reason for this is that when liquid sweat evapora ..read more

by Peter Andrews OAM, 20 March 2019 The question I am most asked is not “How does The Australian Landscape Science work?” Actually, it is “Why hasn’t this model been made available to everyone?” If the Australian public knew the truth of what has been going on behind the scenes, there would be anarchy tomorrow.‬ So many promises have been made and swiftly broken over the years, that combined they would be hard to tally. Despite all the good faith on display to the world, there has been no action. As the long dry continues to expedite the desiccation of our nation, breaking the hearts of far ..read more

Peter Andrews OAM, 1 January 2019 Plants protecting water in the soil and recovering dew from the atmosphere is the most efficient solution for major climate recovery. Powered by sunlight and gravity, plants manage the destructive heat of the sun, using water to convert energy into a latent state, where it changes from gas back into liquid. If we work with this scientific process and restore water in the ground, then we can transform the Australian landscape into an agriculturally-managed oasis. Unfortunately, the role of plants as the most effective climate solution is rarely understood a ..read more

Dear Supporter, We would like to thank you for raising your hand to be a part of the campaign for the Restoration of the Australian Landscape by 2030. Together we will share with the world the incredible blueprint that the ancient Australian landscape offers to all of us. Since the campaign was initiated, we’ve had many thousands of people viewing, sharing and responding to the call.  Much has happened in a short period of time, including: I have met with Government officials, including the Prime Minister and the Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, to discuss gover ..read more
