About

Dear Hon. Tanya Plibersek,

Australia is in the grip of an extinction crisis, but our government has the power to turn this around. We desperately need strong new nature laws that protect nature and provide a thriving future for threatened species like the koala and greater gliders.

We are calling on you to pass strong nature laws this year, including new National Environmental Standards to guarantee our beautiful and iconic plants and animals are protected for future generations.

Right now, our national environment laws are undergoing once-in-a-generation reform.

It’s a huge opportunity to get things right for nature and win changes to protect the places and wildlife we love. To stop destructive land clearing, coal mines in koala habitats, and logging that kills gliders.

People across Australia are calling for the federal government to pass strong environment laws, this year. Will you add your voice?

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act is the national law that’s meant to protect our environment. But with Australia ranked as one of the worst countries for extinction AND a global deforestation hotspot, it’s clear our national environment law is failing. That’s why urgent reform is so important.

Federal Labor came to the last election with a promise to fix our broken nature laws. Now they need to deliver.
