In Western Australia, a project called Gondwana Link is buying up abandoned farmland to combine with neighbouring bush and national parks, to create a green corridor more than a thousand kilometres long. It is being billed as the biggest land restoration project in the world, but those behind the plan also hope it can pay its way as a carbon sink to absorb greenhouse gas emissions.
