Fund our work

When you opt to donate every four weeks, you automatically become a member of the Wilderness Society. You join a society of people who care about nature.

We are powered by tens of thousands of members - saying we’re here, we care and we won’t be ignored. These numbers prove everyday that there are more people who care about nature than the corporate and political interests willing to exploit it.

Protecting places like the Great Australian Bight from big oil or defending Lutruwita / Tasmania's World Heritage Area doesn't happen overnight. They're long-term commitments, and the regular donations from our members sustain us through these long fights.

As a member you receive our publications, gain access to local campaign centre staff and enjoy discounts on merchandise. By joining as a member you'll play a massive role in guiding our success, from electing our Board of Directors, all the way down to sharing our videos on Facebook.

We’re building a movement to swap the destructive thinking of the past for the modern vision we need. One that’s better for all Australians — and for all life on Earth. Here's what we're doing to make that happen:

• Frontline campaigning around the country to halt destructive industries and deforestation
• Political and media advocacy for strong nature laws
• Pushing for systemic change to tackle both the climate and biodiversity crises
• Building a mass movement of people who are a voice for nature

People often ask us where their donations will go, and we're proud to show them. Here's how we spend our funds.
