About our Foundation
Australian Ecosystems Foundation is a not-for-profit registered environmental organisation dedicated to saving Australian wildlife by protecting habitats and maintaining natural ecological processes.

The Australian Ecosystems Foundation Inc. is supported by a volunteer Management Committee with experience in wildlife conservation, land management, veterinary science, community engagement and organisational leadership. This mix of skills guides our conservation programs, supports habitat restoration and contributes expertise to sanctuary and protected‑area projects across Australia.
Our primary partnership is with Secret Creek Sanctuary in Lithgow, which serves as the home of our new Visitors Centre and the central base for much of our conservation, education and community engagement work. Over the years we have also helped establish and improve protected areas elsewhere, restored biodiversity across large landscapes and supported others in developing sustainable sanctuary models.
Our work reaches thousands of people across Australia and internationally who share a commitment to protecting native wildlife. With community support, we continue to restore ecosystems, strengthen wildlife populations and contribute practical knowledge to conservation projects nationwide.
We collaborate with a wide range of partners — including government agencies, universities, community groups and volunteers. By working together, we share expertise and resources to increase the effectiveness and long‑term sustainability of conservation efforts.
