The Albanese Government has set a goal of no new extinctions and committed to delivering a new generation of national nature laws.
With over 2,000 Australian animals and plants on the threatened species list, there is no time to waste. Write a quick email to the Prime Minister calling for strong laws now that stop nature destruction and protect the wildlife and places we love!
What to write in your email:
- Explain why you want nature protected. You don't need to be an expert, briefly give the reasons why it matters to you.
- Make a clear ask. Call for the Albanese Government to deliver strong new nature laws that stop the destruction of Australia's wildlife, forests, rivers and reefs, and create an independent regulator to enforce the law.
If you want to add more detail, you can include the following:
- We need strong new laws now to protect Australia’s threatened animals and plants, and stop the destruction of the places they call home.
- Over 2,000 threatened animals and plants need new nature laws urgently. The longer we wait, the more extinctions we’ll get.
- Strong laws should be backed up by an independent regulator, to oversee and enforce the rules.
- Strong laws need to address the urgent threats of climate damage to nature, and reject proposals that cause climate harm.
