22 Nov PARTNERS & SUPPORTERS
Aussie Ark is very fortunate to have the support of committed individuals and organisations as partners. Running a conservation project like Aussie Ark is an expensive venture but saving Australia’s most threatened species is priceless. We rely on the ongoing support from our conservation partners to make the Ark happen and without their support, it would not be possible. All funds contributed by project Partners on Aussie Ark initiatives are spent directly on conservation. Likewise, any educational or research grants given by external parties must be exempt from administrative charges and overheads and are spent directly on saving the threatened species that live at Aussie Ark.
