About Protect Tasmania

Protect Tasmania is on a mission to help reverse the extinction trajectories of Tasmania’s threatened wildlife to urgently improve their survival and protection.

Background

We respect the deep wisdom and knowledge of Palawa people and acknowledge Lutruwita always was and always will
be Aboriginal land.

We value knowledge exchange. We will share what we learn - including what works and what does not.

We value action now, not later. We will test and learn through targeted interventions.

People and partnerships are crucial to success - we cannot do this alone. Our community is deep and wide and we want everyone to be involved.

We value science, evidence-based decision making and tracking the status of species to show that interventions are working and prevent crisis management.

Demonstrating the highest standards in everything we do, including business, governance and delivering on commitments to
supporters.

We value storytelling because images and narrative connect us.

Positivity and hope drive us to be bold, stand up and make a difference.
