FAME's vision is to prevent any further extinctions of Australian wildlife. We actively support projects that will save endangered wildlife, and we work in partnership with a wide range of like-minded organisations.

The chances of survival of more than 10 of Australia’s most endangered mammals, three endangered bird species and countless hectares of remnant plant communities have been improved thanks to the work of the Foundation for Australia’s Most Endangered Species Inc. (FAME) since our establishment in 1993.

Our volunteers have erected hundreds of kilometres of feral proof fencing, destroyed vast numbers of feral weeds and planted thousands of native plants. Their efforts have helped some of Australia’s most endangered species to survive.

Many of FAME’s achievements have been made possible through partnerships. We prefer to work with organisations that manage protected areas where native species can live naturally in their natural environment, safe from the combined threats of habitat destruction and introduced predators and competitors.

• 2011. The FAME Board is considering the advantages of changing our legal status from an Association Incorporated in South Australia to that of a Company Limited by Guarantee. The Board considers that such a change would help FAME to operate more effectively as a national organisation.

  A draft Constitution has been constructed to support this intention. It demonstrates that FAME's aims and objectives would not change should such a move be taken. View Draft
