The Wildflower Society of WA Inc. is joining forces with the Conservation Council of WA and other environmental groups to Defend WA’s Nature with a series of events starting on the 25th July that leads to action at Parliament House in August.
WA’s nature is in crisis. After enduring the hottest, driest summer on record, our ecosystems are collapsing and wildlife populations are plummeting.
The South West of WA, a global biodiversity hotspot, faces the highest threat and loss of biodiversity in the nation due to rampant deforestation. Alarmingly, 300 species are at extreme or high risk of extinction in our state.
At the same time, fossil fuel expansion and habitat destruction from industrialisation threatens precious ecosystems both offshore and onshore, pushing our wildlife to the brink.
MPs return to Parliament on August 6 and are poised to introduce nature reform laws to Parliament.
We would like to see you there to show support for the protection of our environment!
