Support a place-based, professional, and values-led organisation

ALEC is the only dedicated environmental advocacy organisation working solely across the arid zone. We are a unique organisation operating in one of Australia’s most ecologically significant, yet, underrepresented regions. 

ALEC's work is only possible because of people like you: individuals, families and philanthropic partners who see the arid lands as living, irreplaceable places, and who know that doing this work well takes strong resources.

We don't receive government funding, so we can speak up with independence and answer only to the communities we work with and to supporters like you.

Because we are independent, we can listen, support, and advocate with integrity. We stand with communities, not just for them. We are working to have invasive buffel grass classified and regulated before it takes over arid-zone landscapes and species. We speak up to protect precious groundwater, support remote communities facing climate threats, and continue our long fight to stop fracking in the Beetaloo. We hold politicians accountable when they do not represent the community's wellbeing and demand real action from regulators.
