World Wildlife Fund in Australia:
Over the last 40 years WWF has worked on species conservation and habitat and landscape management across Australia, in partnership with traditional owners, communities, nonprofits, scientists, businesses, and governments. Over the coming weeks, months, and years, WWF will work together with these partners to:

Address immediate needs. Activities change daily but include providing extensive care to injured koalas and other species.
Recover critical habitats. WWF will also engage Indigenous and rural communities to improve management of critical ecosystems and fire response.
Prepare for future emergencies. WWF seeks to ensure recovery, reconstruction, and management responses towards securing Australia’s natural resources for people and nature over the long-term.
