Right now, nearly 2,000 Australian animals, plants and ecosystems are at risk of extinction. And it's getting worse.

Ruthless nature-wrecking corporations and developers are bulldozing the forests and grasslands they call home. And our governments are doing little to stop them.

In North Queensland, nationally protected greater glider possums face being wiped out from their forest homes to make way for cattle farming.

And it's not a one-off. In 20 years, habitat destruction has driven glider numbers to drop by 80%!

It should be illegal to send plants and animals extinct. But our system for protecting threatened species in this country is fundamentally broken. We don't have the laws to protect the critical habitat our wildlife need to survive and our government isn’t doing anywhere near enough to support their recovery.

Sign the petition calling on Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Environment Minister Sussan Ley to:

Create a new generation of national laws to protect nature and funding to restore ecosystems to bring our wildlife back from the brink. 

Because we live on an incredible continent, and it’s our responsibility to look after it.

Dear Sussan Ley,

while you are signing off on bad environmental policies your are also destroying the economy. Tax payers are sick of paying for your short term benefits in order to make you look good and later finding out that our incompetent politicians never
cared about the damaging consequences Tax Payers have to pay for.

The first rule when you find yourself in the bottom of a hole is – stop digging! We are in the bottom of a very deep climate change hole so we need to stop chopping down the trees that are absorbing the carbon and providing habitat for endangered species.
