ADD YOUR VOICE FOR A NATURE POSITIVE FUTURE

With your support, we are calling on the government and businesses to protect and restore nature.

Our natural world is in crisis. We are witnessing the devastating loss of nature and biodiversity at an unprecedented rate, and the consequences are far-reaching - from the air we breathe and the water we drink, to the stability of our climate. But there is still time to turn things around.

This year, the world's first Nature Positive Summit is being held in Australia. With the world watching, this is our opportunity to act for nature.

 At WWF-Australia, we believe in a Nature Positive future - where we halt and reverse nature loss by 2030, leading to full recovery by 2050. This means a thriving natural world with clean air, fresh water and a stable climate for all.

To achieve this, we need your help to act now.

Now is the time to call for bold action and leadership from government – nature depends on it.

Join us today to start a new, positive chapter for people and nature.

Your voice matters – add it now!

The Nature Positive Actions

WWF-Australia is urging the government to deliver on our Nature Positive asks, a set of reforms and policy actions designed to stop the devastating loss of nature and biodiversity seen in recent years - helping to create a better tomorrow for all people and the planet.

Bold action from government

The government needs to act quickly on its plan to improve Australia’s environmental laws and keep its promises to protect nature globally. Establishing and enforcing stronger nature laws and environmental policies and targets will help Australia to stop and reverse nature loss by 2030 and achieve full recovery by 2050.

Visionary leadership from businesses

It is time for businesses to transform their approach, adopt nature-positive practices and reduce environmental harm. This means applying a nature-positive lens to every decision, from the products they choose and the suppliers they work with, to how they run their operations.

Nature Positive Means:

Halting and reversing nature loss by 2030. It means clean air, fresh water, and healthy landscapes.

It means thriving oceans, rivers, and forests. A stable climate for all.

It means caring for Country and respecting the deep connection between people and land.

It means empowering people, strengthening communities, and helping our economies flourish.

It means working together to restore nature. Because when nature thrives, so do we.

Global Nature Positive Summit 2024 First Nations Statement

Nature Positive may sound like a new concept, but First Peoples have been nature-positive for millennia. We call it caring for Country. Whether it’s land, sea or sky, caring for Country has been part of our stories and songlines for generations. It’s driven by one simple principle: leaving Country better than you found it. On countless occasions, the world has seen the social and economic good that comes when indigenous peoples are supported to care for Country. To have Healthy Country, we must invest in it. We must provide First Peoples the resources and cultural authority they need to revitalise their Knowledge and practices on Country.

A joint statement, co-written by First Nations advisers at the Australian Conservation Foundation and WWF-Australia and signed by more than 40 groups and individuals, calls on government and business representatives to engage Indigenous peoples on all ‘nature positive’ decision-making processes and outcomes.
