'Modern' Australia has the worst record in the world for species extinction. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, there are more endangered plants and animals in Australia than most of the rest of the world.
FAME's vision is to prevent any further extinctions of Australian wildlife. We actively support projects that will save endangered wildlife, and we work in partnership with a wide range of like-minded organisations.
Our work is made possible by the financial support of our members and donors. Please join us - your support will help FAME provide the difference between survival and extinction for Australia's most endangered species.
