The Australasian Wildlife Management Society (AWMS) promotes the study and application of scientific management of vertebrate fauna in the Australasian region. Australia and New Zealand have unique faunal biodiversities, much of which is threatened by predation and habitat change by humans, altered fire regimes, invasive species and climate change. AWMS, established in 1988, encourages the broader community to scientifically develop and implement plans to manage our fauna, and to review these plans within social, environmental, economic and political contexts. AWMS people include scientists, educators, students, wildlife managers, extension specialists and policy makers from all over Australia and New Zealand, and from other countries.

‘enviroed4all’ is my website/ business name for my environmental education projects. I might be just one person, living on a working farm, but I have worked in different ways as an environmental educator in schools and the community, in much of my region, the Wimmera, for over 3 decades.

The UNDB ‘living in harmony with Nature’ slogan inspires me to be part of it and the web makes it possible. I can do things for it that will have meaning in my regional environment, encourage others to be a part of these and share these with the like-minded people/groups across the world.

Environment Australia advises the Commonwealth Government on policies and programs for the protection and conservation of the environment, including both natural and cultural heritage places. It also manages a number of major programs, the most significant of which come under the umbrella of the Natural Heritage Trust. These programs include Bushcare, Coasts and Clean Seas, the Endangered Species Program and Waterwatch. Environment Australia also administers environmental laws, including the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and a range of other Acts. It is also responsible for Australia's participation in a number of international environmental agreements

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 provides a legal framework to protect and conserve, nationally and internationally, biodiversity and enables environment and heritage protection. Subject to the decision of the Australian Government Minister for the Environment and Energy, any organization that is proposing a project or action that could have significant impact on the environment is required to undertake environmental assessment.

The Kangaroo Island Natural Resources Management (NRM) Board is responsible for managing, protecting and restoring Kangaroo Island’s unique natural resources. It is the peak strategic body responsible for planning and coordinating regional natural resources management.

Kangaroo Island retains 40% native vegetation, native animals abound, some rivers are classed as the most pristine in South Australia, and we are rabbit and fox free.

The Board works with its community to protect and preserve water, land, biodiversity, and coast and marine environments. Its program areas are: coast and marine, feral animals and weeds, on-ground works, water resource management and community knowledge building.

The CERF Taxonomy Research & Information Network (TRIN) consists of a group of leading Australian scientists in the field of taxonomy, the science that identifies and names biodiversity, who are working together to address gaps in our knowledge of Australia's biodiversity.

Research focuses on small terrestrial mammals, reptiles, and aquatic invertebrates, ants and weeds of national significance. The work is also improving the way baseline information is made available to end users, such as researchers, governments, universities and industry. This research network aims to be a global leader in delivering web-based information on taxonomy, and moving towards the creation of a 'one stop shop' for assessing key information on Australia's biodiversity.

The Development Gateway is a knowledge-sharing website, supporting people working in Asia Pacific countries to reduce poverty and promote sustainability. It is a mechanism for Australians and others in the Asia Pacific region to contribute knowledge and to engage in vigorous discussion.

We facilitate partnerships between urban and rural communities to take quantitative and positive environmental action in Victoria by growing provenance based seedlings. We are the support network for volunteers who grow provenance based indigenous seedlings. TreeProject has grown and planted over 2.2 million indigenous trees, shrubs, and grasses across Victoria since 1988.

The majority of our projects involve volunteer growers who propagate and nurture provenance based seedlings. Through this program we are able to make regeneration work affordable by providing low-cost but high quality seedlings to Landcare groups and landholders. Other projects include the organisation of tree planting days and providing learning tools and support to our volunteers and the community that facilitates the growing of healthy seedlings.

The World Agroforestry Centre (previously known as ICRAF) works through the support of Australia and other developed countries to address global poverty, hunger and environmental needs in developing countries.

Conservation is at the heart of everything we do at Zoos Victoria. Our community conservation campaigns make it easy to take action to help the precious biodiversity around the world.
