Stop our governments winding back environmental protection laws. Conservation Council ACT Region is part of the combined environment group campaign Protect the Laws that Protect the Places You Love.

Launched in August, we want to ensure the things we love - our iconic reefs, wetlands and wildlife - continue to be protected.

You can show support by sending a letter to the Prime Minister and your local member of parliament, donate to support the campaign and join us on facebook to keep up with the news
