We're buying Avocet Nature Refuge in the heart of Queensland – next door to our Goonderoo Reserve.

Right now, your gift will be doubled (up to $500,000) thanks to a few generous donors. Help us raise $1.4 million before 24 December to protect one of Queensland’s most threatened ecosystems, and others like it.

With your support we can scale up our protection of the precious Brigalow woodland.

Avocet Nature Refuge was saved by a love for nature. In 1999, a multi-generational farming family made the decision to set aside more than 1,200 hectares of their pastoral land on Western Kangoulu Country near Emerald to be gazetted for conservation.

It became the first private land in Queensland to reintroduce Bridled Nailtail Wallabies – a species once thought extinct – and today shelters one of only two wild populations left in the state.

Now, with Avocet Nature Refuge set to join Goonderoo, we’re tripling the land we manage in this fragmented landscape – and the work it takes to protect it. That’s why we are counting on your support.

Your gift can power on-ground action to:

  • Remove invasive weeds that suffocate the soil and plants

  • Control feral animals like cats and foxes that predate on baby Bridled Nailtail Wallabies

  • Prevent unplanned fires that risk wiping out entire species populations

  • Restore and rehabilitate the Brigalow woodlands.

Every dollar you give before 24 December will be doubled. Together we can keep the Brigalow growing, the wallabies roaming and the koalas safe in their trees.

Your donation will not only enable work on Avocet, it will also go directly to our critical conservation work right around Australia – improving wildlife habitat, protecting endangered species, and scientific research that's crucial to protect nature into the future.
