Get in touch if you’d like to help and/or donate to one of our campaigns. Contact us if you are doing some things in the BEATS space and need our help to beat your drum. At theBEATS.org we’re determined to turn around the devastation of our biodiversity and protect our endangered and thretened species.
THE CHALLENGE
At theBEATS.org our purpose is to share knowledge around Biodiversity, Endangered And Threatened Species in Australia. We intend to inform a million minds about what can be done, what is being done and what must get done to stem Australia mismanaging the protection of our plants and animals, and in particular, their habitat.
We will do this by finding and supporting local heroes and donating half our funds to Wilderlands.earth https://wilderlands.earth/ by protecting Australia’s biodiversity one square metre at a time – forever.
WHO WE ARE

As such, we are both grateful and recognise that those who contribute their time, knowledge and resources in support of theBEATS.org, do so willingly alongside other aspects of their lives.

WHAT WE ARE DOING
TheBEATS.org team has secured tax deductible status (DGR) for gift donations to help us support our local heroes whether they rescue wildlife, protect plants, habitat and wildlife, sustainably educate our children and our communities, communicate their stories, and inform, inspire and engage them to help build resources, innovate and conserve, and/or gather evidence to help decision-makers make the right environmental choices to stem the threats to our biodiverse flora and fauna.
We will also amplify the work being done by the many unsung BEATS heroes in Australia, supporting them to be heard and thrive. See our current Campaigns.

We will hold our ourselves and our leaders accountable for improving Australia’s BEATS track record until our nature flourishes sustainably and our work is no longer required.
