Protect our species from extinction

We have a new Environment Minister Sussan Ley, and together we have a huge opportunity to get her to do something about Australia’s extinction crisis.

In October our out-dated and failing national environment law—the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Protection Act (EPBC Act)—is up for review.

There is a real risk that big corporations will try and hijack it—they are already in the news, calling for the laws to be watered down further, while spinning it as ‘cutting green tape’.

We have a new Environment Minister Sussan Ley, and together we have a huge opportunity to get her to do something about Australia’s extinction crisis.

In October our out-dated and failing national environment law—the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Protection Act (EPBC Act)—is up for review.

There is a real risk that big corporations will try and hijack it—they are already in the news, calling for the laws to be watered down further, while spinning it as ‘cutting green tape’.

This is a once-in-a-generation chance to do something about Australia’s extinction crisis, to end deforestation and to get better protections in place for our unique animals and ecosystems.

Through this review, the Government has a choice: will they act to end Australia’s extinction crisis or will they continue to back the broken system that is failing our wildlife and our communities?

Let Minister Ley know that the Australian Government needs a plan to fix Australia’s extinction crisis that includes nature laws that end the threats to our wildlife and forests and an independent watchdog to enforce them.

I don’t think a country with such a rich and unique natural environment should be allowing our current rate of extinction and habitat destruction. Clearly, our environment laws (including the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act [EPBC Act]) are not working as Australia is a world leader in both animal extinctions and deforestation.

This October, the EPBC Act will be under a once-in-a-decade review. This is your opportunity to fix the failed laws and institutions that have led to twenty years of declining environmental values, habitat loss and species extinction. I urge you to listen to the community and work out the best way to end extinction and deforestation in Australia.

Minister Ley, I am calling on you to use the EPBC Review to:
come up with a national plan to end extinction and deforestation.
fix our failed environment laws. 
set up an independent Environmental Protection Authority to be a watchdog over the system.

I look forward to seeing updates on the progress of the EPBC Review.
