Become a Goanna Guardian – donate now!
One of our largest native reptiles, the Rosenberg’s Goanna (Varanus rosenbergi), is found only in southern Australia, including several parts of the ACT where its numbers are thought to be declining.
We need your help to protect this vulnerable species – NOW!
Your tax-deductible donation will fund vital scientific studies and activities such as:
- sequencing the genetics of Rosenberg’s Goanna (one DNA test is $5,000)
- collecting field samples by capturing and tagging goannas
- using sophisticated equipment, including GPS, to track goanna movements
- buying equipment such as camera traps and specialised cameras to monitor burrows
- recruiting volunteers and running citizen science events.

Bequests
Making your will is one of the most important things you can do. It not only ensures that your affairs will be settled exactly as you wish, but by making a bequest to the NPA ACT your voice will continue to be heard on the issues you believe in.
Because the NPA ACT is a non-profit, non-government, non-partisan and totally independent organisation, we depend almost solely on the generosity of our members and supporters to help fund our ongoing work.
Your gift, large or small, can make a significant difference to our work, funding projects and campaigns which may not otherwise be possible. Your bequest will also help to ensure the financial sustainability and long term security of the NPA ACT.
A Lasting Legacy for the ACT
The creation of a protected area system containing adequate samples of all natural ecosystems is essential for nature conservation in the ACT. However, major gaps still remain in this system.
With your help, support and future vision, the NPA ACT will always be there to:
- advocate for strong protection and sound management for our parks and natural areas.
- counter inappropriate development proposals and safeguard the integrity of our existing parks.
- establish new reserves to protect adequate samples of all bushland types and na tural ecosystems.
- implement measures to protect native vegetation not currently protected in the reserve system, on public and private land in the ACT.
- share our goals for nature conservation and encourage public care and appreciation of our parks and wildlife.
The National Parks Association of the ACT shares a vision of the ACT as a place with a diverse, secure and healthy natural environment cared for and appreciated by all.
Yes! I would like to be part of that future vision.
A bequest to the NPA ACT is a gift ensuring a magnificent inheritance for all Australians. If you would like to go ahead and make a request please fill out this form.
