Australia’s plants and animals are under threat. Our combined voices can protect them.

We have one of the worst records on extinction in the world. 56 more Australian species have just been added to the international red list of threatened species –bringing the total to 1,830 Australian species in danger!

The nature crisis is global. Habitat destruction is threatening Tasmanian Devils and Sumatran tigers alike with extinction. The Great Barrier Reef is collapsing, so is the Amazon.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek can make Australia a global leader for nature – but they have to show up.

This means attending the 15th conference to the parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) in Montreal in December, and advocating for strong global nature goals that unite and hold governments and business accountable worldwide to protect and restore the natural world that sustains us.

Sign the petition calling on the federal government to:

Lead on ambitious global goals for nature to halt and reverse biodiversity destruction and achieve a Nature Positive world by 2030 at COP15.

That means championing clear and measurable goals and targets, backed by domestic commitments to:

  • End extinction and recover threatened species
  • Restore the ecosystems we’ve already degraded
  • Embed the value of nature in all government and business decision-making
  • Recognise Indigenous rights and stewardship
  • Protect at least 30% of the planet’s land and oceans.

Want to understand more about how global goals for nature will help Australia's own endangered plants and animals? Read our blog from Nathaniel Pelle, ACF's Business and Biodiversity Campaign Lead, then sign the petition and invite friends and family to add their names too!

We’ve already lost too much wildlife habitat. we need to start giving back.

A few days ago a few black cockatoos started flying around our area – would love for that to continue.
We need to do better.

Australia has a disgusting record on extinction. One of the youngest, colonized counties in the world has the highest rate of extinction in the world.
Now that’s something to really be proud of.

Restoring and increasing ecosystems is vitally important. The more habitat we have will enable the world to thrive.
Debra 2025-01-26 12:40:51 +1100
I want ambitious goals for nature to allow our unique biodiversity to thrive, support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders rights and stewardship, and stop the effects of increasing CO2 emissions and reverse climate change. I currently don’t want children as I do not want bring children up in a country and a future that continues to degrade ecosystems and continue to destroy our planet’s land, oceans and air.

We are lucky enough to have both red tailed black cockatoos and the Carnaby black cockatoos living in the trees on our rural property. I am currently sat outside watching and listening to them and would be devastated if this situation were to change going forward where they become extinct. These beautiful birds need protecting.
Joanne 2025-01-16 11:39:59 +1100
I’ve just filmed 3 black cockatoos in a gum tree across from my home. Not sure where to report sightings to and google led me here; so signing.

It’s important we protect all wildlife, especially endangered ones today.

It’s so sad to see the decline of so many bird species.what humans have done is disgraceful.
Act before its too late

Platypus are unique to Australia. In Britain there are manmade havens for otters. Why do we not chose the most favourable rivers and establish platypus havens before it is too late?

I want ambitious global goals for nature because we are losing too many of our native animals and plants through neglect and human greed.

Please stop this out-of-control WA State Government destroying our environment (Woodside gas approval to 2070! Bauxite mining without strict conditions etc…).
There is no hope for the black cockatoos with idiots like this in charge.
