As the COVID-19 pandemic rages across the planet, one thing has never been clearer.

We all depend on nature to survive.

Huge thanks to all the health and other frontline workers who are risking everything to help keep us all alive today.

As environmentalists, our work is to keep Earth, and all its creatures, alive tomorrow and beyond.

"Nothing will save us from ourselves but ourselves. We need action for Earth based on the reality that this is each and everyone's responsibility."  Bob Brown.

Working remotely, our campaign team is more active than ever, employing exciting new online campaign techniques.

• These include creative online events, like our recent virtual Rally to Save Tassie’s forests bringing together more than 2,000 people. 
• Our annual arts project, Tarkine in Motion, will be a virtual event this year, with artists coming together online to celebrate the beauty of takayna.
• Digital protests are being organised against plans by the Federal Environment Minister to weaken environment laws.
• AdaniWatch is surging ahead, exposing Adani’s crimes against climate, nature and all humanity, right across the planet.
• We are investigating cutting edge satellite technology to monitor and respond to the ongoing logging of Tasmania’s native forests.
• A new campaign is being developed to protect all Australia’s native forests while our campaign for takayna / Tarkine, remains our focus.
• Once lockdown is lifted, we will quickly be back on the frontlines to defend wild nature head-on. Meanwhile, we are preparing a community of people ready to take Action for Earth, with plans for online non-violent direct-action training.

Social distancing and lockdown will not stop us from running creative, inspiring and effective campaigns.

But the COVID-19 induced economic crisis has dramatically reduced our income and Bob Brown Foundation is relying on the generosity of people like you more than ever.

Your pledge today will ensure our campaigns for wild nature will continue to shine brightly with defiance and hope throughout this dark time.

Importantly, in this difficult time, join in, keep in touch, and share the successes ahead as we strive to defend this wondrous planet’s natural realm.

Stay safe, stay well, stay active.
