Groups and Activities

What 3,100 environmental groups tell us about activism in action

Our database reveals a vibrant and diverse ecosystem of environmental groups. While some focus on high-profile campaigns and public mobilizations, many others are quietly working on local restoration, environmental education, and community-led sustainability projects.

Diversity of Focus

The Australian environmental movement is far from a monolith. We see groups dedicated to everything from protecting urban wetlands to challenging international trade agreements. This diversity is a strength, allowing the movement to address environmental challenges from multiple angles simultaneously.

Communication as Advocacy

Communication is the lifeblood of activism. Our research shows that groups that communicate frequently and across multiple platforms are more likely to achieve their stated goals and maintain high levels of community engagement.
