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.

Please wake up and be a part of helping our environment survive. No more clearing for cattle, cattle die too, in our droughts then it’s all in vain. Do yoy really still believe that the earth is simply here for humans to rape and pilage?

If some radical changes don’t happen soon, this generation of politicians will be remembered in the history books as the worst environmental terrorists Australia has ever seen, and Sussan Ley’s name is going to be front and centre.

Stop species extinction in this country. We already have an appalling record. You can stop this and leave a better environment for our children and grandchildren.
