All Australians deserve to know the environment is properly protected.
Nature is the true beating heart of Australia. Yet too many of Australia’s species, ecological communities and ecosystems are at risk of extinction, collapse or ongoing decline and degradation.
- In the South West there are mining threats to the world’s only jarrah forest
- Critical WA Black Cockatoo habitat is being cleared at an alarming rate
- Our water supply is under threat
- Our oceans are facing increasing impacts from rising sea temperatures
- Marine environments like Scott Reef and the endangered species that rely on that ecosystem are under threat from oil and gas projects
- The Pilbara and Kimberley are facing threats from clearing for agriculture and mining, and dramatic changes to inland water systems and dust pollution
The Independent Review of Australia's federal environment laws (The Samuel Review) found that our natural environment is in an overall state of decline and our laws are not fit for purpose.
We have a once in a decade opportunity to strengthen Australia’s nature laws.
That’s why we are calling on the federal government to establish Australia’s first Federal EPA along with the full set of recommended reforms.
It's time to take politics out of environmental protection.
Protecting nature should be a priority for all political parties.
Get involved and join others in your community to show our elected representatives that nature needs protecting.
