THE CHALLENGE
At theBEATS.org our purpose is to share knowledge around Biodiversity, Endangered And Threatened Species in Australia. We intend to inform a million minds in the next three years about what can be done, what is being done and what must get done to stem Australia’s appalling track record in mismanaging our flora and fauna.
We will do this by collating, analysing, researching and sharing the challenges facing our biodiverse, endangered and threatened species in Australia. See our research [coming soon].

WHAT WE ARE DOING
TheBEATS.org team is developing information to be used by educators, communicators, conservationists, communities and others to inform, inspire and engage help to stem the threat to our flora and fauna.
Our initial focus will be in schools where we will highlight the issues. We will also amplify the work being done by the many unsung BEATS heroes in Australia, supporting them to be heard and thrive.
