Within the Wild Futures program,
Conservation Volunteers Australia have identified twelve particular species
that require urgent assistance to ensure they do not succumb to extinction.
The landscape and wildlife are under huge amounts of pressure,
dealing with threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, introduced predators, pollution,
disease, invasive weeds, climate change and urban development. In just a
short time we have seen many species decline and an ever increasing number fall
to extinction.
Through Wild Futures, Conservation
Volunteers Australia contributes to wildlife conservation in a simple yet
powerful way. Working with recovery teams and guided by recovery and
management plans, we identify the expert-approved conservation actions to which
we can provide significant support. Wild Futures allows supporters to get
involved and make a valuable contribution through action and donation.
Volunteers get to roll up their sleeves and make an active difference to
urgent species’ survival. Together, Conservation Volunteers Australia and
the Wild Futures supporters can implement these vital actions that will give
these animals brighter, wilder futures.
