The Australian Conservation Foundation is AustraliaÍs national environment organisation _ 400,000 people creating a world where forests, rivers, people and wildlife thrive. A handful of people formed ACF 50 years ago when mining first threatened the Great Barrier Reef. Now the ACF community has grown into a powerful force for nature. We bring together people from community, government and business. Our community advocates against pollution and destruction, and for our living world. We hold decision makers to account. We champion big ideas, and find common ground with unlikely partners. We love and protect the web of life right across our continent, from the Kimberley to the reef, down the Great Dividing Range to TasmaniaÍs forests. People power our campaigns. We are proudly independent, non-partisan and funded by donations from our community.
