Southern blue whales are truly enormous. Their hearts are the size of a small car and their heartbeats can be detected 3 kilometres away. They sing to each other in our vast oceans, where their whale songs are like low rippling earthquakes.
But they’re threatened by chemical and sound pollution, habitat loss, fishing, and climate change.
Will you lodge a missing creature alert with your local Member of Parliament? Tell them we need strong national environment laws to protect the places and wildlife we love – and ask them to raise this with their party leader.
Fill out the webform with your name and why you care. We'll print your name and message on a special missing creature alert and post it to your local MP. If you prefer, you can print and post it yourself.

The diversity of species on this continent are irrevocably vanishing😔 Stand up for the majority and protect what species are left!!!
Biodiversity is vital to the health of the planet and our own health and wellbeing. Losing beautiful Australian fauna to extinction is a tragedy that can and should be prevented.
Dear Minister.
Australian wildlife and wilderness are under as much pressure now as ever before. Government after Government have failed to protect our great unique environment. Government failures are the reason we are where we are because ‘YOU’ are the law makers. No one else can make laws to defend wilderness and wildlife. Politicians have to take responsibility for this and do what is right. How many more years will we have this story? Not too many or to many? Depending on which one there will be or there wont be some of these creatures. What are you going to do?
Regards.

Gwenyth Broug as a teacher I am aware that the Australian Education National Curriculum teaches sustainability and the web of life. Students are given the impression that governments actually care and are protecting the environment. Tragic that they are being misled about losing the diversity of life and the sustainability of life and governments duty of care.
Humans are destroying the world’s oceans and you can actually do something to help. I urge you to use your authority and help.
Am writing to you to express concern about the difficulties being placed on the southern Blue Whale by oil companies causing them unacceptable disturbance with their deep water explosions
Once again it’s money over life. Our life innthe end. Why can’t you guys see the long game?
I’m nobody, but I knew at the age of about 8 that the paradigm was wrong. Like you, I was socialised into believing it was the only way. I’ve learned it’s not. Grow your minds; grow your hearts and do what’s right, not what’s expedient.
Think about the long range effects of every decision you participate in.
Please.
Save our ecosystem for future generations………
Please stop oil and gas exploration in the great Australian bight. The depth charges harm creatures like the blue whale, its like someone setting off fireworks in your bedroom randomly while you sleep.
I believe that it is our responsibility to care about other living creatures.
What we do or don’t do today affects our future generations. We have an obligation, a moral responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures for our future gnerations as well as protecting these whales because it’s the right thing to do. We need to stronger environmental laws. Please raise this!!!
We need strong environment laws to protect these animals, we care about their future. They share this planet with us, we don’t own it . Please make a stand and pass laws in Parliament to protect endangered species and our oceans.
Australia has come so far from the days of water pollution on our beaches but we still have a long way to go. The Earth’s largest Whale is under threat from pollution & unnecessary sonar & other noises. You have a voice for all of Australia’s Fauna, even if they are just swimming by. Conservation of our Environment & all the creatures that inhabit it is very important to the majority of Australians. Please help to conserve & protect our precious Wildlife.
Sincerely
G & J Reid
We have to protect our oceans and the creatures in it. Please help.
Loss of biodiversity, and the big mammals of the sea in this case, destabilise ecosystems and have vast impact of the planet. CSIRO’s report Our Future World 2012 recognises biodiversity decline as one of the megatrends that could severely impact Australia over the coming decades. Please drive government planning and policy decisions to stop the extinction of precious life forms.
