What has WWF achieved over the last 50 years? WWF brought together a consortium of partners to develop a plan to protect and manage the biodiversity of the entire Southwest Australia region, which is home to almost 7, species of plants, almost half which occur nowhere else. The findings of a WWF scientific study led the Queensland Parliament to pass legislation to phase out broadscale landclearing across the state and set a new benchmark for Australian land management.
This stopped State Government plans to log the Tarkine Rainforest Corridor at the heart of the wilderness area. The island was finally declared pest free in Almost 2. Funded by the state government and generous donations from WWF supporters, a 5-kilometre fence was built around Nangeen Hill Nature Reserve in WA to protect the dwindling black-flanked rock-wallaby population. With our Indigenous partners, WWF saved more than 1, baby turtles from predation in Queensland and rediscovered the spectacled hare wallaby in the Kimberley.
The collective effort of WWF and other organisations saw the largest marine protected area in the world finally secured in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica.
With funds from supporters WWF-Australia bought and retired two shark fishing licences on the Great Barrier Reef, saving the lives of about 20, sharks a year as well as dugongs, dolphins and turtles.
