TALKING PAWS

Dear Parks and Wildlife Supporter,

Friends often ask me when my job of raising funds for the Foundation will be over. Surely there will soon be a time when the Foundation no longer needs the help of our loyal donors and supporters.

Sadly, this is not the case. The 2006 “Red List” of globally threatened species contained over 600 species of threatened native Australian animals and plants.

Over 600 little Australians who might no longer be able to call Australia – or anywhere – home.

The recent Golden Paw Species Rescue Appeal talked about the cruel fate of the last Tasmanian Tiger. This appeal has so far raised more than $15,000 to stop more of our precious creatures meeting the same terrible end.

Primary school kids across NSW and the ACT raised $8,000 through the Dymocks Golden Paw Award to buy a marine mammal rescue kit – a tremendous effort.

It’s a time of unprecedented wealth and abundance in Australia. And now, more than ever, charities like the Foundation need the committed support of Australians like you to protect our values and Australian way of life forever.

Thank you for your contribution to our cause.

Andrew Mitchell
Fundraising Manager
