Our national environment laws are supposed to protect the places and wildlife we love.
But the once-in-a-decade review of those laws has found that nature in Australia is in big trouble. Australia has one of the worst extinction records on Earth, and even our most iconic wildlife like the koala and platypus are at risk in some states.
The independent reviewer, Professor Graeme Samuel, recommends a complete overhaul of our national environment laws to protect our country’s unique places, plants, animals and ecosystems for future generations.
Australia has one of the worst extinction records on Earth. It's time for laws that actually protect nature, and an independent regulator to enforce them.
Sign the petition to demand that our national environment laws actually protect nature:
Create a new generation of national laws to protect nature and funding to restore ecosystems to bring our wildlife back from the brink.

It is shameful that we don’t protect our wildlife enough.
Thank you for creating this petition. We need to save our earth
We need to make permanent changes to stop logging our old growth forests., Australia wide, immediately. The pressure of people, development and climate change only add to the enormous pressure put on our unique fauna and flora.
How can the NSW Government make an election promise to create a national park for koalas, and then start logging the very areas that have been identified as important koala habitat?
Destroying our native forests is madness in the face of all the evidence that we need to do all we can to protect our environment. And it’s especially frustrating when it is being destroyed by an industry that is no longer relevant and is being propped up the government.
Please, please, please protect nature!
