When it comes to the very serious issue of BIODIVERSITY LOSS, think global and ACT LOCAL.

WHY DONATE TO ALBURY CONSERVATION COMPANY? 

- We are LOCAL. The money we receive is invested right here in Albury Wodonga. In fact, we also attract funding to our region. 

- We are a NOT-FOR-PROFIT organisation.

- We are a RECOGNISED CHARITY, listed on the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).

- We are LEADING ADVOCATES for the protection of our local wildlife and raising community awareness about our unique local environment. We've been doing it since 2006!

- We DON'T HAVE GUARANTEED OR RECURRENT FUNDING. We survive by applying for funding from various government and philanthropic sources, and via donations recieved from good people like YOU. 

- WE GET RESULTS! We have initiated, funded and delivered many important local wildlife programs.

     For example:

• In 2014 we began a partnership with Thurgoona Men's Shed to build NEST BOXES for Squirrel Gliders. Six years later, they have produced over 700 high quality, purpose built nest boxes for a range of wildlife species in NSW and Victoria.
• Between 2015-18, we undertook a major mapping project of HOLLOW BEARING TREES in Albury's major urban growth area.  Over 650 of our oldest and most precious native trees were mapped and photographed, and the information was shared with Albury City Council to inform urban planning.  
• Since 2018 we have been implementing a MONITORING PROGRAM targeting Squirrel Gliders and other native species at over 60 sites across Albury, twice a year. In winter 2020 we are expanding into Wodonga to make it a unique cross-border threatened species monitoring program. 

YOUR DONATION WILL HELP US TO:

1. MONITOR LOCAL THREATENED SPECIES in our Albury Wodonga Threatened Species Monitoring Program.
2. ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITIES IN NATURE CONSERVATION via our Threatened Species Monitoring Program, Albury Wodonga Nature Map, Nest Box Program and other citizen science and hands-on conservation activites.  
3. LEVERAGE MORE FUNDING from other sources. Our experience is that a bunch of small donations can get pilot projects started, which can then attract larger investment (e.g. grants) to make them into more substantial projects. We've demonstrated this time and again, and never forget the crucial role that our donors have! 

Loss of biodiversity is a serious global problem. Sadly, Australia has some of the highest extinction rates in the world. Biodiversity loss is also an urgent local problem in Albury Wodonga. We have a large number of wildlife species that are listed as endangered or threatened, meaning they too are on the slippery slope towards extinction. Species like the Squirrel Glider, Sloane's Froglet and numerous bird species that call Albury Wodonga home. 

100% OF FUNDS RAISED via Givenow will help Albury Conservation Company continue to monitor and protect threatened species and their habitat across the major urban growth areas of Albury Wodonga. Donations to us are also TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

We couldn't have achieved what we have already achieved in 14 years without generous donations from members of the public. People just like you! 

THANK YOU for helping local threatened species. We appreciate and recognise all donations, big and small, one-off and re-occurring.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING OUR SUCCESS STORIES WITH YOU!
