You can be a force for nature. Set up a monthly gift and join us in standing between wildlife and extinction.
Your commitment will enable the delivery of critical conservation programs and protect Australia’s unique natural world. You’ll also join the Wildlife Guardians, a community of dedicated supporters who are committed to safeguarding our precious wildlife and wild places.
Wildlife Guardians play an essential role in conservation. Your generosity provides Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) with a consistent income stream, enabling the delivery of critical conservation programs and the restoration of species and habitats. Monthly gifts are also processed automatically, meaning they reduce costs and ensure that maximum funding is available to support conservation in the field.
The pressures on our environment are increasing and the need for effective conservation action has never been more urgent. By becoming a Wildlife Guardian, you can make a real difference and safeguard nature for generations to come.

What the Wildlife Guardian community is saying
Foxes arrived in WA in 1929, the year of my birth. They have since exterminated all the once prevalent ground dwelling birds such as Stone Curlew and Plover. I first learned of the AWC, Avon Valley reserve when I returned to WA in the 1990s. I have been a permanent supporter of AWC for about 25 years and have been rewarded by the extension of absolute species protection reserves across all of Australia.

I have a deep connection with AWC’s purpose and goals, so a monthly gift is an easy way for me to regularly contribute to the important work that AWC is doing to protect and preserve Australia’s unique landscapes, flora and fauna. It also keeps me in touch with AWC so I can learn more about what the organisation is accomplishing. I then feel more connected to the purpose which is very special to me. Making a monthly gift is a very easy process. By making a regular gift, I feel like part of the team, on a mission of great importance.

I grew up on a grazing property that my great-great-grandfather had settled in 1833, so we had an oral record of what species had become extinct on that land. The district is inhabited by conservative graziers who have no interest in conservation, so I had our property declared a wildlife refuge. I do get pleasure from contributing monthly and enjoy the magazines.
