– Gary Dunnett, NPA Executive Officer
Nature needs our help more than ever. The fires of 2019/2020 have left a permanent imprint on many of our natural landscapes and pushed once safe species towards extinction. Against this backdrop, climate change, destructive development, logging and loss of marine conservation are posing increased threats to nature.
The overwhelming devastation of the 2019 /2020 fire season is hard to fathom. Over 5.2 million hectares of NSW was impacted by fire. With so many families, communities and natural areas affected, the damage will be felt for decades to come.
Our comprehensive research papers show that the case for Snowy 2.0 and its claimed benefits simply don’t stack up. There are better alternatives, ones that avoid catastrophic impacts on Kosciusko National Park.
Apart from our extensive bushwalking and outdoor activities, NPA also have citizen science, bush regeneration, talks and many other events.
