Across Australia, much of the damage to nature and the climate does not happen in the open.
It happens out of sight – when forests are cleared beyond public view, when wildlife loses habitat without scrutiny, when pollution escapes into the atmosphere unnoticed.
By the time this harm becomes visible, it is often already widespread – and far harder to stop.
Evidence changes that.
It brings hidden destruction into the open – where it can no longer be ignored.
It forms the basis of regulatory complaints and legal challenges.
It exposes harmful practices and holds corporations to account.
And it powers advocacy and public pressure, shaping the decisions that affect our precious places and climate.
What your support makes possible:
- $3,000 helps unlock critical information through Freedom of Information challenges – revealing what would otherwise remain hidden
- $5,000 puts trusted experts on the ground to verify impacts and gather evidence where it matters most
- $7,500 enables deeper analysis across hundreds of cases – tracing patterns and exposing systemic harm
- $10,000+ supports long-term investigations – giving the team the time, tools and certainty needed to follow the evidence wherever it leads
A long-term partnership:
Investigations of this kind take time. Force for Nature is a multi-year partnership through to 2030, designed to give ACF’s Investigations Unit the continuity and certainty needed to pursue complex cases for as long it takes.
You can choose to make your contribution as:
- an automated monthly donation, or
- a once-a-year annual gift at your chosen level
Both options provide the sustained support required to ensure investigations are carried through to the point where evidence leads to enforcement, accountability and systemic change.
This is not about a single campaign or moment.
It’s about backing the foundation of ACF’s most powerful work – the evidence that drives accountability and ensures environmental laws and protections are applied.
When people stand behind evidence, it cannot be ignored.
Please give today to help uncover hidden environmental harm, document it rigorously, and ensure it is acted on.
