## All Australians need environmental news.
More than half of all Australians **get their news from social media**. But when social media bans public interest reporting - a pillar of our democracy - **we are here for you**, because the truth matters.
Essential information delivered through a strong, trusted and diverse media is **essential for the protection of nature**, and the achievement of a world capable of nurturing life in all its magnificent diversity.
Work like this is only made possible by our supporters. Greenpeace accepts NO government funding or corporate donations to remain impartial. To amplify meaningful climate activism in Australia, ***become a regular giver today.***
