We urgently need to protect our most vulnerable wildlife before it's too late.
The Australian Conservation Foundation's Investigations Team has exposed a case of potentially illegal clearing of endangered koala habitat. Because of the investigation, the clearing has stopped, for now.
Your support before 30 June will help:
- Ensure the Investigations team can investigate cases of illegal nature destruction and take impactful actions to ensure the habitat of our most vulnerable wildlife is protected.
- Allow the Investigations team to follow every lead - monitoring irreplaceable habitats & taking field trips to gather evidence to expose the truth.
- Create strong new laws that actually protect nature by pressuring the government from the inside and out.
- Show the government Australians want to protect the nature we love by producing bold public moments and advertising that garners media attention and mobilises communities.
Your tax-deductible gift today will help fund our time-critical work to strengthen our nature laws and end extinction.
Please give before June 30th to end the destruction and allow our vulnerable animals to bounce back.

Your support in action: The ACF Investigation
The Australian Conservation Foundation’s Investigations team responded quickly to a tip-off into potentially illegal koala habitat destruction.
So we hired a helicopter to see the destruction for ourselves. It was devastating. 183 hectares of thriving forest had been cleared for beef production.
We determined it was highly likely endangered koala habitat, and that no federal environmental approvals or exemptions appeared to be in place.
Because of the investigation, the clearing has stopped for now and the case has now been reported to the authorities.
But this is just one of thousands of cases of potentially illegal nature destruction happening across Australia each year.
It shouldn’t be up to us to protect the habitat of endangered species like the koala on a case by case basis.
Your gift today will help protect the nature you love.
Your Impact: The Bigger Picture.
With more than half a million hectares of threatened species habitat like this cleared in Queensland in just one year, it’s no wonder that our much-loved koalas, once common, are now endangered.
This is the habitat destruction fuelling our extinction crisis.
Strong national environment laws will give us the framework and protection to turn the nature crisis around. If we’re successful, future generations will know the thrill of bushwalks where they can spot a koala snoozing in the trees.
With your support, we will push for strong, enforceable laws that protect our wildlife and ensure a healthy, beautiful, thriving environment for generations to come.
We have powerful actions planned during these critical months, but we need your help to make them bigger and louder.
With your help before June 30, we will keep holding the government to account and give nature a voice.
We only exist because of the commitment and shared belief of the ACF community that our precious wildlife and habitat deserves protection. We must keep fighting for stronger laws to stop the destruction – and start regenerating the nature we all need to survive.
Nature needs us now to protect it and allow it to heal.
