Australia’s natural wonders, and the wildlife that call these magnificent places home, define this great country. The glorious beaches that we visit every summer, our resplendent outback vistas, and Tasmania’s awe-inspiring forests—and that’s just to name a few!
Yet, these places are under unprecedented threats. Conservation laws designed specifically to protect nature are being unwound, both on the state and national level. Some governments and big business often try to give us an ultimatum—a healthy economy or a healthy natural world. The Nature Campaign aims to protect wilderness and nature across Australia by creating protected areas and strong, nationally consistent laws and institutions.
What we’re doing about it
Together, with the Places You Love Alliance, we’re going to create a comprehensive suite of effective, nationally consistent laws with all levels of government signing up to protect nature. We’re running a series of campaigns to protect some of Australia’s most incredible places.
