nature + people

​​

Who are we? 

Prom Coast Ecolink is a passionate group of local volunteers working to create a network of nature corridors across the Prom Coast region.

What do we do?

We connect nature to nature through biolinks, and people to nature through community engagement.

What are nature corridors? 

​Nature corridors, or "biolinks," are pathways that help wildlife move safely between vital resources like food, water, and breeding partners. For species like our threatened koalas, these connections are essential for survival and resilience in a changing environment. Plants also thrive by spreading and strengthening through these corridors.

​

Our ultimate vision is to connect the Strzelecki Ranges, the Hoddle Ranges, and Wilsons Prom. Wilsons Prom is set to become a 50,000-hectare climate change safe haven through the Parks Victoria Prom Sanctuary project—an incredible opportunity for conservation.

​

Why does it matter? 

By showing that caring for the environment, sustainable farming, and vibrant communities can coexist, we can inspire meaningful change. Together, we’re helping South Gippsland remain a place of natural beauty, healthy farmland, and ecological innovation.

How do we make it happen? 

We collaborate with key stakeholders—like local councils, Landcare, environmental groups, government agencies, ecologists, and landholders—to link public and private lands. At the community level, we host workshops, citizen science events, and conversations to connect people with nature.
