Save The Kimberley is an independent awareness organisation. Established in 2007, we engage and educate the Australian and international community about the threat to the Kimberley Coast and its inland wilderness areas posed by multi-billion dollar gas and large-scale industrial development proposals.

Save The Kimberley does not oppose responsible development. But there is a better future for our national icon, the Kimberley, than short sighted heavy polluting industries.

We are not-for-profit, 100% volunteer run and unlike any environmental, cultural, social or community group you have ever seen or been part of before. Save The Kimberley comprises Traditional Owners and other Indigenous Custodians, long-term members of the Broome and wider Kimberley communities, high profile musicians, writers, photographers, influential business people and members of the Australian political community. We are volunteers from all walks of life, we live in the Kimberley, we care for the Kimberley and we need your help.

We have been working to protect the Kimberley for many years now but this year will be crucial as:

• The WA Government tries to push through it's compulsory acquisition process (to take the land from the Indigenous owners) at Walmadan (James Price Point, north of Broome)
• The 'strategic assessment' (environmental impact) documentation for an LNG processing precinct at James Price Point is out for public comment and Environment Ministers will examine the proposal,
• The multinational oil and gas companies led by Woodside are expected, by Government decree, to make final investment decisions regarding the James Price Point development.

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES

Browse basin gas (located well off the Kimberley coast) can be processed in the Pilbara where there are suitable sites and established industrial infrastructure, or processed offshore using new floating technology. There is no need to irreparably damage the Kimberley coast and drive the thin edge of an industrialisation wedge into our last great wilderness.

A protected Kimberley will be more valuable in the future than an industrialised Kimberley sold off to multinational companies for short term gain. The damage done by toxic land, sea and air pollutants, repetitive and extensive seabed dredging, loss of traditional culture and the social problems such developments typically bring with them cannot be reversed. The time to take action is NOW. We invite you to help save the Kimberley.

How will the funds be used?

Save The Kimberley is 100% volunteers - passionate, influential, experienced people who give their time, money and skills for only one reward - the hope of protecting the natural and cultural heritage of the Kimberley for all of us.

You can be confident that every cent will go to achieving our goals. We do not pay staff and we run a tight ship; we get maximum value from every cent you donate.
