Desert Defenders help provide the vital funds that enable the Arid Lands Environment Centre to keep protecting the outback and catalysing change in the arid lands. 

Together with our supporters, ALEC has been standing up for the arid lands of Australia since 1980. Mining and fracking threaten to industrialise these vibrant, cultural landscapes, contaminate precious groundwater supplies and contribute to climate change. Invasive weeds like buffel grass, feral and hard-hooved animals and unprecedented groundwater extraction threaten our unique ecosystems.

Your monthly donation provides critical funds to keep ALEC standing up strong for the desert country and supporting communities to take action.

If you prefer, you are also able to make a regular donation by direct debit. Please contact [email protected] for ALEC bank details.
