On Campus Groups
The Environment Department isn’t the only environment and sustainability-related group on campus, and we’d love to introduce you to the others. Not only that, but Melbourne has some awesome groups who deserve your friendship:
Local and National Environmental groups
Regent Honeyeater Project
Situated in Victoria’s High Country, the project consists of a number of regular and occasional volunteers dedicated to re-planting habitat for critically endangered native wildlife, the foremost of which is the Regent Honeyeater. The Enviro Collective often has weekend road-trips to Benalla to get out of the city and assist with revegetation.
A grassroots community group based in Far East Gippsland endeavouring to protect our precious endangered native forests in Victoria, using a variety of tactics like citizen science and surveying, nonviolent direct action, political lobbying, education, and awareness-raising.
A movement of young First Nations organisers working on grassroots campaigns affecting Indigenous sovereignty, climate, and land rights issues across the country.
Campaigns to pressure financial institutions, governments, and individuals to withdraw both explicit and implicit monetary support from fossil fuel projects to ensure a safe climate future; this includes superannuation, banks, investors, etc. Market Forces is always looking for ways to exploit the dirty links between money and climate change in order to lobby politicians and businesses to withdraw their funding and damage the social license of big polluters.
A collective of organisations and grassroots campaigners fighting to stop the Adani coal mine in Queensland’s Galilee Basin. would be the largest coal mine in the world, on Wangan and Jagalingou land against the express wishes of the Indigenous Traditional Owners, directly polluting the Great Barrier Reef, and fueling climate change.
