CCWA has been protecting nature since 1967 and played a key role in establishing the Environmental Protection Authority in 1971. The CCWA Nature Program launched in May 2024 to defend and strengthen our state and federal environment laws, as well as drive a positive agenda for nature conservation in Western Australia.
From our magnificent landscapes, unique wildlife, and globally significant biodiversity; from the Kimberley to the Southwest forests and Coral coast, Western Australia’s natural values are part of our sense of place and wellbeing.
But the nature we love is in serious trouble. Ecosystems are collapsing, and our wildlife populations are plummeting. Right now, amid the extinction and climate crises, vested interests are pressuring governments to weaken our nature laws to more easily exploit nature for profit.
We are working with allies and member groups to defend WA’s nature from these increasing threats by campaigning for strong nature laws and building a powerful grassroots nature protection force in WA.
