The federal government has announced a $250 million funding boost for Australia’s nature! This is a welcome and important step towards meeting our #30by30 goal.

We’re asking all political parties to commit to at least 1% of federal spending on conservation to protect nature for future generations.

While cost of living remains the top issue for voters, the #environment is right up there with housing, healthcare, and the economy.

Concern for nature is high across all political parties & even higher among swing voters and independents.

Australians love our #nationalparks — not just for nature, but for #adventure too! 🐨🌿🏕️

From hiking and camping to kayaking and 4WD adventures, there’s no shortage of ways to explore.

What about you?

Less than 0.1% of our taxes go to protecting nature—and we're not happy about it! The 2024 Biodiversity Concern Survey shows most Australians want more funding for nature, even during the cost of living crisis.

New study reveals 23,500 species, including dragonflies, fish, and crab sare at risk of extinction 😥

Freshwater ecosystems are essential for both wildlife and people. Protecting at least 30% of our rivers, wetlands, forests, and oceans by 2030 is vital to ensuring a future where nature thrives.

New research shows recovering Australia’s threatened species would cost 25% of GDP. While that's probably not feasible, even just 1% of the budget would be transformational.
