Mission

"To raise and effectively direct funds to projects that will
save Australia’s endangered species from extinction."

What do we do?

Established in 1993, FAME is a national non-profit organisation that helps save Australia’s most endangered species from extinction. 

Our Vision - To prevent any further extinctions of Australian wildlife.

FAME believes that wildlife is most likely to survive where it can live naturally in protected areas of natural habitat that include, so far as possible, the original biodiversity of the area and where introduced competitors and predators are excluded or significantly reduced in number.

How do we do it?

FAME provides support exclusively for Australian species most at risk of extinction, and for projects that would increase the likelihood of the survival of one or more of those species.

FAME believes that a partnership approach to saving endangered species is the best use of scarce resources. We work with like-minded organisations, wildlife authorities and private land owners.

FAME also conducts and supports programmes of environmental education so that Australians will have a greater understanding of the uniqueness of the Australian environment and its wildlife.
