Places You Love

<H2><STRONG><SPAN>Australia is facing a national extinction crisis.</SPAN></STRONG></H2>
<P>We hold the world record for the highest number of mammals declared extinct since European settlement. We currently also have almost 2000 unique animals, plants and ecosystems listed as being under threat. </P>
<P>Weak protection for these species and their habitats combined with a lack of resources to invest in their recovery means that things are not looking good.</P>
<H2><BR></H2>
<H2><STRONG>But there is something you can do about it.</STRONG></H2>
<P><STRONG>On 7th September 2018 join us and take a visible public stand against extinction on the lawns of Parliament House. </STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN>If you are an organisation or you have a particular connection with a threatened species we encourage you to bring along visual props that help us tell the story of the wonderful creatures and places we love. </SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG>Join us in taking a stand for our 2000 threatened plants, animals and ecosystems. Send a powerful message to our politicians that we know, we care, and we want new nature laws.</STRONG></P>
