Prescribed Burning ePetition

Prescribed burns in the South West are killing wildlife and destroying habitat. The resulting smoke also damages human health and puts lives at risk.

Reject South32’s Mine Expansion

After the Environmental Protection Authority’s recent recommendation to approve South32’s expansion, the bauxite miner is poised to wipe out up to 3,855 hectares of West Australia’s threatened Jarrah Forests. It’s critical that the Environment Minister hears from everyone opposed to the destruction of our Northern Jarrah forests and all the life they support now.

Speak up for the Northern Jarrah Forests!

Don’t Torch the Tingles

The WA Government are set to burn ancient Tingle forest on Douglas Hill, near Nornalup. One of the only areas of long unburnt old growth forest remaining, and an important sanctuary for threatened and endangered animals including Quokkas, Red-tailed Phascogales, Western Ringtail possums and all 3 species of Black Cockatoos.

End Forest Mining

Black cockatoos need their habitat intact. Alcoa’s attempts at reforestation
have all failed and we cannot let them irrevocably destroy what we have
left. WAFA have created a very simple letter template that will send a
clear message to the Premier, Ministers and your local MPs.

Write to the Premier

Thank you for your interest in taking action to help protect the Black Cockatoos. We know that when people come together we can achieve incredible things, and it is critically important that we act now to prevent extinctions and begin the recovery of Black Cockatoo populations in Perth / Boorloo and the South West. We need the WA Government to implement the 12-point Emergency Plan. Please email your MP and Premier Cook today.

Protect the Pines

The Gnangara, Pinjar and Yanchep pines are vital to the survival of the endangered Ngolyenok (Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos). The birds have come to depend on the pines due to a lack of native food sources, and the site is critical in feeding their young after migrating from the Wheatbelt where they breed. Please email the WA Environment Minister Reece Whitby and Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek and urge them to put a moratorium on the clearing of the pines until the assessment can be made.

Write to Minister Plibersek

Australia’s federal environment laws have failed the endangered and threatened Black Cockatoos. Their habitat has dwindled and they are heading for extinction. It is critical that the new policies and laws recently announced by Minister Plibersek work to stop the clearing of Black Cockatoo habitat.

Please send an email to Minister Plibersek and urge her to ensure that the suite of upcoming changes to environmental laws in Australia work on the ground.

Black Cockatoo Crisis

Black Cockatoo Crisis is the new social impact documentary by Jane Hammond, director of the internationally acclaimed Cry of the Forests. The film shines a light on the plight of the Black Cockatoos and aims to avert the extinction canyon facing these iconic birds. Launched in Nov 2022, the film has already won four international awards. See the official website for information about screenings and for tickets.

Protect Cocanarup

Cocanarup Timber Reserve is one of the most important breeding sites for endangered Ngolyenoks (Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos). It is made up of large, ancient Salmon gums and up to 100 pairs of Carnaby’s use the hollows of these trees to breed. The EPA are currently seeking input about whether to undertake an environmental assessment of a lithium mining exploration application by Bulletin Resources Ltd.
