Australian Conservation FoundationAbout the Australian Conservation Foundation
We’re the Australian Conservation Foundation, Australia’s national environment organisation.
Since 1965, we’ve protected the air we breathe, the water we drink and the places we love. Driven by the power of people, we won World Heritage listing for the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadu National Park; we secured the $10 billion national clean energy bank and we returned precious water to the rivers of the Murray-Darling.
We influence governments and businesses to protect the animals, rivers and reefs close to our hearts and hold decision-makers to account without fear or favour. Everything we do is evidence-based and helps nature and people thrive for generations to come.
We won’t give up until Australia’s nature is protected and regenerated.
