WWF-Australia - for a living planet

Sustainable industry

Sustainable industry is the cornerstone of WWF's work to protect the earth's vital life support systems and reduce the ecological impact of Australia's communities.

By working with government, community groups, businesses and industry WWF aims to find workable solutions to Australia's most pressing environmental challenges.

This work brings together a dedicated team of policy specialists, whose activities cover a broad range of natural resource sectors, including agriculture, forestry, fisheries and mining.

WWF works to highlight the threats to the environment from poor natural resource management and ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into decision making processes for the benefit of all Australians.
