The organisation
The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW) is Australia’s trusted charity partner for the conservation of wilderness and wildlife. For over 50 years, FNPW has been at the forefront of protecting over 600,000 hectares of national parks, restoring habitats, and safeguarding endangered species like the Cassowary and Leadbeater’s Possum.
