Petition to Strengthen Australia’s Nature Laws

From Ningaloo to the Great Southern Reef, you've witnessed the wonder. Now, let’s protect what we love.

Australia’s coastlines are home to some of the world’s most extraordinary marine life, from the iconic megafauna of Ningaloo to the surreal kelp forests of the Great Southern Reef. Through Now You See Me, our ocean conservation film series, we’ve captured what makes these ecosystems so precious.

But they’re under threat. Iconic natural places like Exmouth Gulf Ningaloo’s nursery face growing pressure from industrial activity and climate change. Without urgent action, we risk losing them forever.

Strong nature laws are the most powerful tools we have to safeguard fragile ocean habitats and wildlife.

Australia’s national environmental law the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC) was created to protect our unique wildlife and natural icons.

More than 20 years on, we have a crucial opportunity to modernise it,  to strengthen protections, stop habitat destruction, support species recovery, and secure healthy oceans for future generations whilst supporting sustainable development. 

Join SARAH & SEBASTIAN in calling for laws that:

• Enforce strong National Environmental Standards
• Reject developments that cause climate harm
• Fund habitat restoration and species recovery
• Close loopholes that let nature be exploited
• Guarantee First Nations leadership and community voices
