Call for stronger nature laws to protect Australian wildlife

 

We are lucky to live in such an incredible country, with vast deserts, ancient rainforests and spectacular reefs and mountains.

We are lucky to share this land with so many unique animals and birds, many of which are found nowhere else on earth, like koalas, kangaroos and kookaburras.

But, we are at risk of losing all of this.

Australia has the world’s worst mammal extinction rate. We are facing an extinction crisis.

Weak national nature laws have failed time and time again to protect our unique animals and the places we share and call home.

We cannot continue along the same ‘business as usual’ path. Global warming, deforestation and habitat destruction are driving our globally recognised wildlife, land, and seascapes to breaking point.

We need a radical overhaul if we are to save what we all love.

We need stronger laws that stop the destruction of native wildlife and the places we all call home and protect Australia’s unique animals and landscapes for future generations.

We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to turn this around. We need to act now to ensure Australia’s iconic animals and ancient lands are part of not just our future, but our children’s and grandchildren’s future.

That time is now. You have the power. If you love it, help save it. Speak up for stronger laws that stop nature destruction and an independent regulator to enforce them. Join the movement below.

Email Australia’s Minister for the Environment and Water, the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP, today.

Ask her to fulfill her promise to reform our nature laws. Ensure they are strong enough and properly enforced to reverse the wildlife extinction crisis and save what we all love – before it’s too late.

 

The Hon.
