Australia wildlife appeal.

David William Christie https://conservationvolunteers.com.au/what-we-do/ Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of AUSTRALIAN TRUST FOR CONSERVATION VOLUNTEERS and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. More information about AUSTRALIAN TRUST FOR CONSERVATION VOLUNTEERS: Conservation Volunteers Australia’s purpose is to attract and manage volunteers to participate in projects that protect and enhance the environment. Across Australia over the past year we have: • undertaken 1.3 million volunteer hours, • planted more than 1 million trees • collected 6 tonnes of native seeds for propagation • removed weeds from over 56,600 hectares and collected 596 tonnes of rubbish • built and maintained 233 km of walking tracks • delivered 2,031 environmental surveys. Of particular note was our Corporate Tree Planting Challenge in celebration of World Environment Day on Friday the 3rd June, with over 30 teams participating across Australia and New Zealand. With teams competing to plant the greatest amount of native grasses, shrubs and trees as they could within a two hour time limit, the day resulted in more than 12,000 native species planted. Conservation Volunteers Australia works to raise awareness across the community of the plight of threatened species. Our Wild Futures program is aimed at bringing back from the brink of extinction, thirteen threatened species across Australia, and support the conservation of many other species, including the Carnabies in the west, the Eastern Barred Bandicoots in the east, Marine Turtles in the north, and the Swift Parrots in the South. Through the support of the FAUNA Research Alliance, our Rewilding program is working towards reintroducing threatened wildlife, building of a renowned desert conservation centre, work across landscapes to recreate functional desert ecosystems, nurture an engaged community dedicated to sharing knowledge and creating a hub of participatory, hands-on learning. Our One Reef program was established to improve water quality and ecosystem function of Queensland’s wetlands, waterways and catchments through practical on-ground action, community engagement and education, with Community Conservation Hubs in Cairns, Townsville, Gladstone and Mackay.
