Save the Aussie Bush!

The issue

The Australian Government is pushing native plants and animals to the brink of extinction, and what’s worse, they're using millions in taxpayer dollars to do it. 

Not only are we paying to log our native Aussie bush, but it is being used to produce low-value products like woodchips and tomato stakes.

Australia is the only advanced nation that is a global deforestation hotspot. Currently the Albanese Government allows 500,000 hectares of Aussie bush to be cleared or logged every single year.

We’re calling on Tanya Plibersek to announce an end to native forest logging before she hosts the Global Nature Positive Summit in Sydney on 8-10 October 2024. 

The Aussie bush is home to koalas and greater gliders and glossy black cockatoos. We hang our hammocks under scribbly gums, lace up our running shoes and head out for a jog between flowering wattle and bottle brush. This is the beauty of our rugged island. This is our home. 

Native bushland deserves protection. The Albanese Government has the power to do it this year.

Sign our petition to save the Aussie bush today.
