"The Children’s Ground Approach is a 25-year strategy. We focus on prevention, early intervention and empowerment rather than crisis and deficit. We are implementing a system that recognises and privileges First Nations governance, solutions and systems of knowledge. We complement this with western and global practice.
We address the key economic, social and cultural determinants needed for lasting change.
We invest in prevention and the future of our children.
Our children, families, and communities are the experts. Our voice and talent will create change."
Australian Wildlife Conservancy
Australian Wildlife Conservancy is a global leader in conservation with the mission to effectively conserve all Australian native animal species and the habitats in which they live.
Australian Wildlife Conservancy was born out of one man’s mission to turn back the tide of extinctions of Australia’s native species. Starting with one property in south Western Australia, Martin Copley began a journey which would lead to the creation of Australian Wildlife Conservancy and the creation of a new model for conservation.
Through support from donors and innovative partnerships with Indigenous groups, governments and landholders, AWC now owns, manages or works in partnership across more than 12.9 million hectares.
Through this network of large-scale wildlife sanctuaries in remote and iconic regions, such as the Kimberley, Cape York, central Australia and the Top End, we protect some of the nation’s most iconic and endangered wildlife including:
- 74 per cent of native mammal species (215 species)
- 88 per cent of native bird species (546 species)
- 54 per cent of reptile species (555 species)
- 56 per cent of amphibian species (133 species)
