NOT YOUR AVERAGE CLIMATE ACTIVIST

MARCH 11, 2024: Anjali Sharma is not your average climate activist – instead of chaining herself to machinery or unfolding banners on landmarks, the 19-year-old is taking her fight for a cleaner future direct to the lawmakers in federal parliament. Her work is the cumulation of a four-year journey, which started on the streets of Melbourne protesting climate inaction, then to the Federal Court to sue the Minister for the Environment, and now lobbying politicians for legislative change to ultimately end fossil fuel production in Australia.

Sometimes, teenage activist Anjali Sharma wonders what her life would be like now if she had just flicked past those videos. If she hadn’t delved into research about temperature rises and coral bleaching, about floods and melting sea ice. If the then 12-year-old had not been filled with anxiety — and a need to act — as she connected climate change with the crippling heatwaves endured by her relatives in India. “There’s been heaps of moments where I’ve kind of just wished that I could be a teenager,” Ms Sharma, now 19, tells Australian Story. “Because once you enter the world of environmental activism, you start to look at the world in a completely different way.”

Save Our Woodlands has secured 4 significant tracks of land but funding is still needed for each.

Save Our Woodlands is an environmentally conscious group of volunteers dedicated to preserving threatened birds, animals and ecosystems in the woodlands of New South Wales, Australia.

Only 15% of our woodlands remain, the rest has been cleared for agriculture.

Save Our Woodlands Inc. secures and protects woodlands in NSW and pays landholders, in perpetuity, to conserve, enhance and re-establish native woodlands on THEIR land, and to manage these woodlands, so they are maintained.

BUT we need YOUR help.  Together we can bring about change.  Please consider donating.

People tend to think that woodlands are “just bush,” consequently, over 85% of the native woodlands in New South Wales, Australia have been replaced by agriculture.

Donate $10 per month & help protect critical habitats.   By doing so YOU will prevent further species from extinction.

Our work is only possible with your support.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
