The KLF are working to shut down Ranger uranium mine which sits inside the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park on Indigenous sacred land. On 29 April 2013, environmental regulators for the office of the supervising scientist admitted to a senate estimates committee that water with uranium concentrations 5400 times background levels and a cocktail of other radionuclides are seeping from beneath the tailings dam at the Ranger Uranium Mine in Kakadu. In recent years we've seen variations to the uranium miner ERA's authorisation to allow them to process lower grade material. This increased production has been accompanied by successive approvals to open up more areas of surrounding bush for Land Application. This involves spraying contaminated water on to surrounding bush land to dilute the pollution. We've also witnessed an application by the miner to extend the height of their leaking tailings dam to the maximum permissible level, and a further pending application to operate with their wastes higher than ever before.

Kinglake Friends of the Forest is a not for profit environment organisation established for people who want to learn about, discuss and advocate for the preservation of the native forests in Kinglake and the Central Highlands. We carry out this work through a number of avenues: political, community and legal. On 4 November 2022 Kinglake Friends of the Forests and Environment East Gippsland heard that we had won our Glider Cases against VicForests, protecting much of Victoria's eastern forests. Following this win, the Victorian government announced that logging would end in these forests in January 2024.

We protest peacefully against the destruction of our beautiful native forests, especially around Toolangi in the Central Highland of Victoria where the leadbeater's possum faces extinction because logging continues in the small area that's left where they live. Recent changes to legislation that effectively exclude protesters from logging coupes for a distance of 150 metres have inspired us to knit a scarf 150 metres long.

LFF was established in 2001 in response to growing concern among members of the legal community about the continuing destruction of the last remaining old-growth and high conservation value native forests in Australia. LFF promotes the conservation and better management of Australia's native forests and aims to increase the accountability of government and business for their forest management policies. We provide pro bono legal advice and representation to persons charged with offences related to environment and undertake law reform and policy development activities to further our objectives and purposes.

Live & Learn works with communities throughout Asia and the Pacific to design, implement and learn from community-based development projects. The projects are specific to each community and cover a number of thematic program areas. Local knowledge and global understanding are the starting points in developing an ethic in environmental and development education. Local ownership of environmental and development education programs, open participation and equality remain the foundation of our organisation. Programs include peace building, environmental governance, sanitation, climate change, sustainable energy and waste.

Lock The Gate Alliance is a national coalition of community groups from across Australia who are uniting to protect our common heritage - our land, water and future - from reckless coal and gas expansions. In a David-and-Goliath struggler of farmers against mining giants, everyday citizens against global corporations, our communities are choosing grace under fire and displaying incredible courage, integrity and imagination. Join us to become part of this inspiring social movement.

Started as a small event, the first March against Monsanto in 2013 turned into a global campaign with over 2 million people in 436 cities, across 52 countries, joining the rallies to say no to Monsanto's grip on the world's food supply and attempts to genetically modify, patent and restrict seeds. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not adequately monitored to ensure public safety. In the USA, Monsanto figureheads occupying positions of power at the FDA and EPA. Monsanto has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to obstruct labeling attempts and suppress research containing unfavourable results. Scientifically established health risks include: organ damage, sterility, infant mortality, birth defects, auto-immune conditions, allergies and increased cancer risks. Farmers in India and Africa have been stripped of their livelihood as a result of false promises, seed patenting and meticulous legal action on the part of Monsanto.
