URGENT: Great Koala National Park at risk!

The Great Koala National Park is a nation-defining opportunity for Australia. It would protect critical habitat, boost tourism, and support koala recovery.

Right now, there’s a real danger the promised park could be downsized. We want the full protection of the park and the many endangered and threatened species that call it home, including an estimated 12,000+ koalas.

Call on our leaders to end native forest logging within the proposed Great Koala National Park and across Australia. Sign the petition today!

We all need trees – to breathe, to belong, to survive.

Yet in Australia forests are being cleared and logged at a staggering rate - areas of forest the size of a football field is cut down every two minutes in Australia.

We need to save our trees and keep our forests standing. Our mature trees are irreplaceable, they store more carbon, support cooler climates, and provide irreplaceable habitat for endangered wildlife, like koalas and greater gliders.

Some forests took millions of years to grow – if we lose them, they’re gone for generations.

Together we can put an end to native forest logging in Australia, and protect our forests for generations to come.

Your voice matters

In 2023, your support helped suspend logging in Tallaganda State Forest. We need your help again. Together, we can shift Australia from a deforestation to a reforestation nation. Help us end native forest logging.

Our Mission Towards Two Billion Trees

By stopping excessive tree-clearing, protecting our existing trees and forests, and restoring native habitat that’s been lost, we’re working to save and plant two billion trees by 2030. Two billion!

We know... it’s a lot. And it’s only possible with your support.

Every second we lose more than one tree to deforestation in Australia; that equates to just under a whopping 50 million trees each year. Here are some of the ways you can help us make sure trees are around for years to come:
