Make your weekend wanderings really worthwhile. Ecoshout's
events listings will connect you up all around Australia with grassroots festivals, film screenings, talks, plantings, bike rides, protests, public meetings and benefit gigs.
Founded in 2004,
Ecoshout's mission is "to facilitate the conservation, protection and restoration of Australia's environment by providing information, resources and support to any group or individual actively working towards these ends."
Did you know that 80 per cent of Australia's native flora and fauna cannot be found anywhere else in the world? We are only one of seventeen countries in the world to be recognised as a site of globally significant biodiversity.
And yet we have one of the highest extinction rates in the world. These species are under constant threat.
Ecoshout helps Australians to help our environment. Their resources will help you to Get Skills, Get Work and Get Active.
