Call on your political leaders to protect nature.
April update: Your voice is being heard, leaders are listening and are already making nature commitments aligned with WWF-Australia's key policy asks of the next Government.
We have just launched our Nature Commitment Survey, asking political parties and independents where they stand on climate and nature.

Nature is the foundation of our lives—our health, economy and future depend on it, yet it is under threat like never before.

2. Stronger nature laws 3. Ocean protection 4. A nature-positive economy
5. Renewable energy
Join us by sending a message to your political leaders now, asking them to choose nature to secure a thriving future for all.

Our Key Policy Asks
Choose Nature: what we’re asking our leaders to do
Invest 1% of the budget into nature to repair and recover Australia’s unique wildlife
Australia spends less than 0.1% of its budget protecting our unique and fragile natural environment. This is far below what’s needed to halt and reverse nature loss.
Fix nature laws to stop deforestation and habitat destruction
Australia’s nature laws are failing to protect our wildlife and critical reforms have stalled in parliament. This means precious species like the greater glider and koala continue to be at risk of extinction.
Protect our oceans and marine life
Our oceans are in peril. WWF-Australia is calling for strong measures to safeguard marine habitats and create safe pathways for wildlife. A healthy ocean supports people, nature, and the planet, and it's time for Australia to play a leadership role in ocean conservation.
Build an economy that protects nature
Australia’s economic systems are driving the destruction of nature. Achieving a nature-positive economy is not an option but a necessity. The next Australian Government must address the economic drivers of nature loss and reform the economic rules of the game.
Replace fossil fuels with renewables
Climate change is moving faster than we are, with dangerous consequences for nature and people. 2024 was the hottest year on record—we need to take urgent action. WWF-Australia is urging the government to stop approving new coal, oil, and gas projects and rapidly shift to renewable energy.
