AUST | FOE | CAMPAIGNING | For Moving Beyond Coal
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has approved 4 new climate-wrecking coal mines in just 6 months. And she has 25 more proposals on her desk.
Friends of the Earth Australia's (FOE) Move Beyond Coal launched a billboard opposite her Sydney office to send her a message that the Australian public won’t stand for blatant inaction on the climate crisis. They are SO CLOSE to raising the funds they need to keep the billboard up, can you help?
Help send the critical message to STOP approving new coal mines!
NSW | GRRE | RAISING | Funds for new Noodle Wagon
This dedicated rescue finds loving forever homes for greyhounds no longer wanted by the racing industry.
As I’m sure you can imagine, these hounds have been through a lot in their lives. Their last hurdle is the journey to their safe haven at Greyhound Rescue (GRRE).
But right now the team are picking up hounds in a nearly 20-year-old van that has seen better days. It’s either that or they risk having them transported to them which can be dangerous.
Poor Jaskier was brought to Greyhound Rescue in a previous owner's van without air conditioning and had some life-threatening heat stress.
Thankfully he recovered, but the rescue wants to make sure that never happens again by having the best wheels available for the job.
They need our help to upgrade to a more modern, safe and spacious van to make rides more comfortable, for vulnerable rescues like Jaskier who need it.
Can you help these angels get a comfier ride for these precious animals?
QLD | RRA | RAISING | Funds for Chalumbin Documentary: the New Franklin?
If the proposed wind development at Chalumbin (QLD) was a coal mine, there would be huge public outcry to stop it. Yet the proposal to bulldoze native tropical forest right next to a World Heritage-listed area is just one step away from approval.
Sacrificing Koala habitat for so-called "green" energy simply doesn't make sense.
While transitioning to greener energy sources is essential, it shouldn't come at the expense of our endangered species and a highly biodiverse old-growth forest.
The good news is, the construction hasn't started yet, so there's still time to stop it!
"We need to show the world the real and immediate threat these wind farms pose to Queensland's beloved Koalas and their habitat. We want to make a compelling case for the importance of preserving this extraordinary wilderness."
Rainforest Reserves Australia (RRA) needs our help to share this message far and wide in a powerful documentary "The Transition to Extinction."
Can you help to ensure that Chalumbin is protected and remains a sanctuary for our beloved Koalas?
VIC | LfF | SAVING | Strathbogie Forest and The Greater Glider
The Greater Glider is an endangered cutie that most people know little about.
These little animals keep their babies in their pouches for three months, all the while gliding over 100 metres between trees!
Lawyers for Forests (LfF) and Save Our Strathbogie Forest are so in love with these little cuties, and really need our help to make sure they don't go extinct from human actions.
The group is taking legal action to make sure that planned burns are as safe as they can be for this endangered cutie and the hollow trees that they call home.
Will you stand with these animal lovers to protect an animal with no voice of its own?
QLD | DJK | KEEPING | Homeless Mob Dry this Wet Season
Things are getting really urgent with the wet season's arrival. We have a few families who we’d love to be able to house before the rain comes in. One particular family has 4 kids in 2 tents with them and if we can raise enough it’ll hopefully house them.
We also urgently need to set up safe spots, waterproof camps and get some decent wet weather camping gear for those who haven't found a roof yet.
We're not gonna let an Elder or a family get soaked when sleeping on the streets.
But we can't do this alone. We need your help.
Anything you can donate will make a huge difference for our Elders, our wise knowledge keepers, carers, and survivors, who shouldn't be on the streets. But they are, and it's not right.
All donations go DIRECTLY to helping these mob. We DO NOT take Admin fees etc like the big NGO’s and we can provide a 24/7 immediate response to need, as long as we have the resources to do so. We will continue to look after our own to the best of our abilities!
BIG love
-DJ Kirra, Damo, Aunty Tam, Nathan and Jess.
NSW | DPT | RESISTING | Drought and Bushfire threat at Animal Sanctuary
Deep Peace Trust are the largest animal sanctuary in Australia and every day we look after hundreds of animals and wildlife, all of whom have been through life-threatening circumstances.
Generosity and commitment to our mission have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today, and we want to keep you in the loop.
I'm reaching out to you today because we are currently facing the looming and quite frankly terrifying threat of drought and bushfires. To say the least it has put a heavy burden on our sanctuary, making it increasingly difficult for us to provide the care and safety our animal residents deserve.
We urgently need to establish comprehensive fire preparations to ensure the safety of our animal residents ahead of time. This includes installing surveillance cameras to monitor different parts of the property, equipping our buildings with sprinkler systems, and repairing fences that were damaged during past flooding years.
In addition, the operational costs for our sanctuary have soared. To ensure our animals have enough to eat during the drought, we've just taken delivery of over $30,000 worth of hay. This hay will serve as a crucial backup to feed our animals, but as you can see the bill is substantial.
As we navigate this dire situation, we would be deeply honoured if you would consider supporting us with a monthly donation as we prepare as best we can to survive this season of heat, drought and fire.
Your donation, regardless of its size, plays a vital role in securing the future of our sanctuary and the well-being of the animals we cherish.
We understand that these are challenging times for many, and your support means the world to us. In the past, we've been overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of our supporters. During bushfires and difficult winters, you've stood by our side and helped us protect and care for our animal residents.
On behalf of all the animals and our entire sanctuary family, we extend our deepest gratitude for your compassion and support. Your generosity will touch lives and help us weather this challenging period. Together, we can ensure that A Place of Peace remains a sanctuary where animals find love, safety, and care for years to come.
