After years of campaigning, Australians have a unique opportunity to reform our outdated federal nature laws.
Current laws have historically failed to tackle the biggest threats to our birds including habitat destruction, climate change, logging and invasive species.
Birds constitute the largest proportion of threatened species in most areas across Australia with one in six facing the threat of extinction. The imminent arrival of H5N1 Bird Flu poses yet another threat, with the potential to decimate many of the nation’s native birds, even species currently regarded as abundant and widespread.
Action from our political leaders is urgently needed to protect iconic and unique birds that are found nowhere else in the world.
We must do everything we can to ensure new nature laws prevent further extinctions and put our precious native birds on the road to recovery.
If you love birds, help save them! Add your voice for strong nature laws.
Simply:
Together, we can get the laws we need, to protect the birds you love into the future.
