Endorsements:

Bob Brown:
I wholeheartedly endorse the Community Land Acquisition Initiative Limited campaign to purchase the contentious but environmentally superb Wallum property. Having visited Wallum and seen its magnificent, ancient ecosystem and listened to the Bundjalung elders talking about their country and the need to protect it, I am happy to talk with any potential investor about saving the property through its purchase. THIS IS NATIONAL HERITAGE; it is no place for bulldozers.

Biodiversity Legacy:
Biodiversity Legacy endorses Community Land Acquisition Initiative Wallum's (CLAI) campaign to purchase the Wallum property. We connected with them in the initial stages of their establishment to share learnings, and they developed these to establish their own entity that is place-based, community led and is guided by First Nation sciences and values. We fully believe communities can come together to save important habitats such as the Wallum site for future generations to come.
Our blueprint includes private funding and financial instruments such as biodiversity credits to generate income for land under our management and as part of packages in acquisition trade arrangements. We are lobbying government to support our initiative with funding through disaster mitigation, environmental and cultural preservation allocations and have had several productive meetings federally with the relevant departments.

Rainforest Rescue:
Rainforest Rescue endorses the Community Land Acquisition Initiative and its goal of permanently protecting the Wallum heathland and woodland at Brunswick Heads through community acquisition and conservation stewardship.
We strongly support CLAI's model: community acquisition, in-perpetuity protection through a conservation land trust, and stewardship grounded in partnership with Traditional Owners. This is what long-term conservation looks like — landscapes returned to community care, held in trust, and protected for the generations who come after us.
We commend the Save Wallum community for the care and tenacity they have brought to this campaign, and we wish CLAI every success in securing the land in perpetuity.
- Branden Barber, CEO, Rainforest Rescue

Total Environment Centre:
TEC is pleased to support the campaign for acquisition of Byron Shire’s last remaining intact Wallum ecosystems: the Wallum heathland and woodland at Simpson’s Creek, Brunswick Heads, NSW. The ecological significance of the Wallum site is widely recognised with a significant number of EPBC listed species and the importance of protecting remaining intact habitat cannot be overstated.
We are particularly impressed by the community’s efforts to acquire it for preservation and support for Community Land Acquisition Initiative objective.
- Jeff Angel, Director, Total Environment Centre

Wildlife Preservation Clarence Valley:
WPCV endorses the Community Land Acquisition Initiative (CLAI) to purchase and protect the ecologically significant Wallum ecosystem in Brunswick Heads. We have followed the development of CLAI into a community-led, conservation land-trust and commend the work done to this point. In a time of drastic biodiversity loss, CLAI presents a rare and tangible opportunity to make a positive impact on so many of our most vulnerable native species. We sincerely hope the campaign will be successful in protecting the diverse flora and fauna for future generations.
- Victor Ostrowsky, President, Wildlife Preservation Clarence Valley
