Surfers for Climate

Let's Give the Bight World Heritage Status

There’s an opportunity right now to make the Nullabor and Great Australian Bight a UNESCO World Heritage Area, but it isn’t going to happen without the Australian surfing community rising to the occasion one last time.

Surfers for Climate is standing shoulder to shoulder with active environmental orgs in the region like the Wilderness Society and Sea Shepherd, First Nations custodians, local legends, and environmental champs in one last big push:

The Final Fight for the Bight to get this majestic and richly biodiverse area of Australia locked in with World Heritage status.

This isn’t just another campaign, it’s the final round in a fight to keep the Bight wild and free from big oil, forever.
