Thanks to hundreds of nature lovers like you making powerful donations, our $25,000 matched gift has been exhausted, and dollar matching is now done. But we still need you standing with us to fight for strong nature protection. Your gift today can help push for strong national laws that actually protect nature.
By the end of this year, the Albanese Government will take their plan to fix our national nature laws to Parliament.
After fighting for decades for national laws that effectively protect nature, we now have mere weeks to shape what they actually look like. And we must get this right.
When you picture Australia, you don’t think of algal blooms, dying coral, or bulldozed forest. You picture the lush Daintree Rainforest. The Great Barrier Reef. The Blue Mountains.
Thriving landscapes. Wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Healthy, strong, and cherished. This is what our nature laws should protect.
Instead, they’re a polluter’s best friend – failing to do the one thing they’re meant to do. Wildlife is still being driven to extinction. Bulldozers still rip through forests. Climate-wrecking projects are still waved through.
The Albanese Government promised to fix our broken nature laws during the 2022 election. Three years later, they’re back on the table.
Our best chance to influence the laws is before the final sitting week starting Monday 24 November. Your gift today can help keep pressure on the government and fund expert advocacy to make sure these laws deliver the protection nature and people need.
ACF has a clear vision of what laws that genuinely protect nature look like. You can help make it possible. Together, let’s fight for:
● Strong upfront protections so destroying vulnerable ecosystems or habitats is out of the question.
● An independent national Environment Protection Agency to make decisions free from political interference and enforce the law.
● An end to deforestation carve outs so nature wreckers stop getting away with bulldozing the bush.
● Mandatory assessment of climate harm so projects aren’t waved through without consideration of their impacts on people, nature and our future.
The Albanese Government failed nature once. We cannot let them shirk their responsibilities again. Donate today to help ensure no more destruction, no more excuses and no more half-delivered promises.
Dollar matching started at 1pm AEST Wednesday 17 September, and the $25,000 matched fund has now been exhausted. Your gift today will not be matched dollar-for-dollar, but you will still be helping to power ACF's work in this critical time for nature.
Call us free on 1800 223 669 during office hours (AEST) and our friendly team can take your donation over the phone.
