Regions — The Wilderness Society

Regions

New South Wales
Stunning beaches, forests that stretch over the Great Divide and into the great open spaces of the wild west of the State. What’s not to love about New South Wales' environment? Join us to help protect the south east’s old growth forests, control landclearing, make Cape York Peninsula a World Heritage Area and protect the State’s marine environments.

Northern Territory
Northern Territory is home to some of Australia's wildest and best natural heritage. The Jabiluka campaign to stop expanded uranium mining in Kakadu National Park was fought and won in cooperation with local indigenous owners. Northern Australia is one of The Wilderness Society's key WildCountry campaigns, with landclearing on the Daly River a major focus. We work with local groups to protect NT's special places.

Queensland
Queensland has been the focus of many of Australia's most important environment campaigns; the Daintree, Fraser Island and the Great Barrier Reef. We have campaign centres in Brisbane and Cairns and welcome people keen to help protect Queensland's heritage. Queensland's attitude to its natural heritage has changed markedly over the last decades with nature-based tourism becoming increasingly central to the economy.

South Australia
South Australia is a land of spectacle. It’s a place of wonders and an environment worth fighting for. The Wilderness Society's Adelaide office has already helped protect the Great Australian Byte Marine Park, the Yellabinna Wilderness, the Gammon Ranges, Coongie Lakes, and many other places. Help us to protect the rest of the wonders of South Australia.

Tasmania
The Wilderness Society was born in Tasmania. Its superlative wilderness has inspired some of Australia’s most passionate campaigns to save some of our wildest, most beautiful places. While the Franklin River campaign was won, some of the world's most magnificent forests are still being clearfelled and burnt for woodchips. Gunns' proposed pulp mill will escalate forest destruction while pouring pollution into river, sea and air.

Victoria
Forests and bushlands are the lungs and lifeblood of Victoria - they supply fresh air and water, protect soil, and harbour a great diversity of wildlife. Logging in Melbourne’s water supply catchments in the Central Highlands loses a thousand litres a second. We’re working to protect forests across eastern Victoria, restore functioning bushland ecosystems in the west, and save the remnant redgum forests of the Murray River.

Western Australia
From the fantastic landscapes of the Kimberley, to the world biodiversity hotspot in the south west botanical province, WA contains some of the best of planet Earth. Australia’s biggest woodland is the incredibly diverse Great Western Woodlands. Our Perth office is working to protect this global treasure. We helped protect the old growth forests of the south coast, and now we want to connect them, across 1000 kilometres, to the Great Western Woodlands through a multi-group effort called Gondwana Link.
