Join our national webinar with Australia’s Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek for a vital discussion about strengthening our nature laws.

Right now, our national environment laws are undergoing once-in-a-generation reform and it’s a huge opportunity to win changes that can finally protect the places and wildlife we love, right across Australia. To stop destructive land clearing, coal mines in koala habitats, and logging that kills gliders. Speaking up for nature has never been important.

Join our webinar with Minister Plibersek and be part of a collective, nation-wide voice advocating for nature.

This national event is hosted by the State and Territory Conservation Councils of Australia, representing numerous local environmental organisations and thousands of members. We’ve long advocated for the national parks and protected areas across Australia, standing with Traditional Owners in their efforts to care for country.
