Who we are

The Wilderness Society is a community-based environmental advocacy organisation supported by over 40,000 members. Established in 1976, we have been at the forefront of Australia's most historic environmental campaigns, including the Franklin River, Fraser Island, Wild Rivers, Marine Parks, Tasmanian forests, numerous World Heritage areas and James Price Point in the Kimberley. The Wilderness Society supports Indigenous people's land and sea rights, and is committed to working with traditional and historical owners before and during campaigns to protect wilderness and nature.

The role

The Wilderness Society's vision is an Australian society that protects and respects the natural world to create a vibrant, healthy continent
