Planet Ark Environmental Foundation is an Australian not-for-profit
organisation with a vision of a world where people live in balance with
nature. Established in 1992, we are one of Australia’s leading
environmental behaviour change organisations with a focus on working
collaboratively and positively.
Our campaigns and programs build on our positive and action-based
philosophy to work with a broad range of individuals, schools, councils
and workplaces. In short, we define ourselves by what we are for rather than what we are against.
Webmaster note : I agree with to be for rather than to be against. But
Planetark claim to be non-political : it is a common
practice or a usual mistake to affirm that environmentalism could be
no-political : NO ! it is anyway ! and that what means the definition
itself : "Politics"
describes the action of governing or influencing those who govern.

Walk Free is a movement of more than 8 100 000 people everywhere,
fighting to end one of the world's greatest evils: modern slavery.
Slavery is illegal in almost every country in the world, but slavery
still exists. As news media uncover shocking stories of modern day
slavery, more and more people are waking up to the need to take action.
Together, we can build a world without it. A world where it is
unthinkable to be treated like someone else's property. A world where
those who steal other people's freedoms are brought to justice. A world
where everyone can walk free.
