What is the ACF?
"We are more than half a million people who speak out for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places and wildlife we love. We are proudly independent,
non-partisan and funded by donations from our community."
- wwwACF.org.au/about
As stated on the Australian Conservation Foundation website, 'the ACF is Australia's national environment organisation'. The ACF is involved in many projects that help safeguard our unique Australian wildlife, forests, marine-life and ecosystems as a whole.
One of the many ACF success stories:
Achieving World Heritage listing for the Great Barrier Reef
"Our campaigns for the reef continue to this day. It all started in 1969, when we made history by kickstarting a Royal Commission and saving the reef from oil drilling.
Six years later, along with our allies we successfully campaigned to declare the Reef a national Marine Park. And we didn't stop there. In the 1980s, ACF supporters campaigned for the Reef’s World Heritage listing – and won."
One of the many current ACF projects:
Environmental investigations - Exposing environmental crime, corruption, and negligence.
"The ACF investigations unit is a watchdog dedicated to protecting nature and our climate by holding the government and private sector to account.
We investigate unethical, illegal, polluting and damaging behaviour, and advocate for policy change."
