- Fundraising - mobilising finance (primarily, tax deductible donations) from the general public and philanthropists including through effective communication of field updates from around the AWC estate.

At AWC we are committed to safeguarding Australia's precious ecosystems and biodiversity. With a deep respect for nature and a vision for a sustainable future, we work tirelessly to mitigate the impacts of climate change, protect endangered species, and restore degraded habitats.
