Do you accept a future with extinction?

Do you accept a future with extinction?

Yes, I'll add my name

This month, a massive study in Nature found that a whopping nineteen Australian ecosystems are on the verge of collapse. And in further sobering news, another twelve Australian mammals were declared extinct. 

The recent Independent Review of the EPBC Act found that Australia’s current national environment laws just aren’t up to the task to protect the wildlife and places we love. It says if the laws aren’t fundamentally reformed, we’re accepting future extinctions and destruction.

This month, a massive study in Nature found that a whopping nineteen Australian ecosystems are on the verge of collapse. And in further sobering news, another twelve Australian mammals were declared extinct. 

The recent Independent Review of the EPBC Act found that Australia’s current national environment laws just aren’t up to the task to protect the wildlife and places we love. It says if the laws aren’t fundamentally reformed, we’re accepting future extinctions and destruction.
The Review is a roadmap on how to end extinction, but so far, the Morrison Government is yet to make a meaningful response to it.

Instead, they’ve tried to push a bill through Parliament that would hand their responsibilities for protecting the environment from destructive projects to the states. 

Because the Senate heard from thousands of you, key crossbench Senators said they wouldn’t pass this regressive bill without key reforms like strong national environment standards and an independent umpire with real powers to intervene when governments or corporates don’t follow them.

In what seems like a cynical exercise to get their handover bill passed, the government is now proposing a bill that would bring in a weak, watered-down version of these protections. 

This bill is facing a Senate Inquiry and the Wilderness Society will be putting a submission calling on Senators NOT to pass this bill until we see a meaningful response to the Samuel Review that includes strong standards that stop habitat destruction and protect world and national heritage, and a truly independent watchdog with teeth.

Add your name to our submission and together we can make one powerful submission showing the depth and breadth of community support for real action to raise the standard or protection for our wildlife and iconic natural places. Then we will deliver the submission to the Senate Inquiry on 25 March 2021.

Protecting your personal information is our priority. You can read our Privacy Policy and Collection Statement. Your email address will not be shared when you add your name to our submission.

The government is trying to rush their regressive one-stop-shop bill through the Senate—the Wilderness Society is putting in a submission to say “end our extinction crisis now!” Please add your name today.

Dear The wilderness Society,

I agree!
