Meet the team
Our mission
To protect the outdoors in the face of the climate and ecological emergency by driving bold action in the Australian outdoor community.
Our Goals
To sound the alarm
We're connecting the dots between the current and upcoming impacts of the climate and ecological emergency and their consequences for the outdoors - the threats that face wild places, our ability to do what we love and our outdoor lifestyles and careers. We're focusing on solutions as we navigate the better path to a greener future.
To empower bold action
Inaction and adventure are incompatible. Passion is contagious. We're helping outdoors people to take effective climate action - in our personal lives, our adventures, our workplaces, the political sphere and beyond.
To build our community
In the outdoors, working as a team is only natural. We're forging a network of motivated outdoors people so we can take action together. And we're working with and alongside other groups in the climate movement.
To stand up for the outdoors
The wild places we love can't speak for themselves. We'll speak out and represent our community's unique concerns - in submissions and elsewhere. We'll help make sure that decision makers are taking the outdoors into account.
