Help me protect wildlife and wild places!

I am fundraising for World Wildlife Fund because I want to protect the future of nature.

The fires are out, and we are now at a critical moment as we work to restore what Australia has lost. 

The unprecedented fire season saw fires burning in every state and territory in the country, but for the first time this fire season, all fires have now been contained.
It has been a long and hard fight for our volunteer rural firefighters, but the work they have done has been exceptional.

With the fires contained, as a nation we’re starting to assess what we have lost and begin the long road to recovery ahead. 

More than 12 million hectares of Australian land has been burnt. When habitat is lost, our wildlife suffers. 

It’s been estimated that around 1.25 billion animals have been killed across Australia to date. This includes thousands of koalas and other iconic species such as kangaroos, wallabies, kookaburras, cockatoos and honeyeaters lost, and many thousands more injured and homeless.

The catastrophic megafires that swept across our country have greatly exacerbated the species extinction crisis we’re already facing.  That's why WWF-Australia has called for immediate global support to establish a AUD$30 million Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund.

Whilst we still may not have the full picture yet, we already know the WWF Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund will deliver:

• Wildlife response - including partnering with wildlife response organisations, communities and scientists nationally for a swift and effective response and recovery at scale.
• Habitat restoration for people and nature - including restoring forests and damaged wildlife habitat, stopping deforestation, including cultivating habitat connectivity, core habitat and Indigenous and rural fire management.
• Future-proofing Australia - including driving innovative solutions to help mitigate climate change, driving climate preparedness, species adaptation and long-term wildlife and nature conservation efforts towards securing Australia’s natural resources for people and nature.

You can help WWF-Australia deploy emergency funds to care for our injured wildlife and now the fires are clear, help restore the forest homes our koalas, kangaroos and other animals have lost.
