Environmental Resources and Groups We Support

Here are some groups that we support as a Foundation and could be useful as a resource.

Humane Society International (HSI) established 1991

The Humane Society International is an organisation dedicated to the welfare of animals and the preservation of their habitat.

Invasive Species Council (ISC) established 2002

Along with climate change and habitat loss, invasive species are one of the top three threats facing Australian biodiversity. Australia has one of the worst animal extinction records in the world, due mainly to invasive species. We are notorious for having lost by far the highest number of mammals in recent times, with foxes, cats or rabbits implicated in most of these extinctions. Many island birds have been wiped out by introduced rats, and an exotic fungus has killed off frogs.

Weeds are increasingly dominating numerous ecosystems, fundamentally altering their composition and function, and invading the habitat of threatened species.

The Invasive Species Council campaigns to strengthen laws and policies to prevent future invasions and better protect the Australian environment against these threats.

National Parks Association of NSW (NPA NSW) established 1957

The NPA is primarily concerned with achieving a world class reserve system across NSW that is well managed for conservation.
