The big end of town goes bush, for a cause

Article Abstract:

Corporate leaders are lending personal and financial support to Australia's Bookmark Biosphere Reserve, a project to study and promote self-sufficiency, job creation, and community involvement in conservation. Since 1993, the reserve has been operated with the assistance of the government of South Australia, but more than 50% of funding comes from the private sector. Investment in money and volunteer work is worth $14 million.
