Nature is in crisis. The time to act is NOW. Thank you to Independent MPs Allegra Spender, Zali Steggall OAM MP, Andrew Wilkie, and others calling for stronger nature laws.    Now, you can too. Call on the Albanese government for stronger laws that protect our plants and animals, stop #deforestation, and ensure damage done by new fossil fuel projects is no longer ignored. Have your say on the Nature Positive bills before July 15th: https://acf.to/3S09aNQ #auspol

Do you believe that everyday people have the power to change things for the better for the places, wildlife and people we love? If so, come and join the team at ACF as a Field Organiser and work with leaders and community groups to build people power and protect and regenerate nature.

This is a great initiative. The co-existence of culture, conservation, Indigenous management of country and economic opportunity is a model we can all learn from. 👏 https://acf.to/4cvRbac Tanya Plibersek #auspol #NAIDOC2024

We are cooking the planet! 🌍🔥 For 12 months straight, global temperatures have hovered at or above the Paris Agreement target of 1.5°C.
