SPA greatly appreciates the generosity of families and individuals who choose to support our work through charitable bequests. These lasting legacies help us continue our work to protect Australia's species and landscapes for generations to come.


What types of charitable bequest can I make?

Ask your legal advisor about the variety of charitable bequests you can make. You may choose to leave:

  • A specific sum of money
  • A percentage of your estate
  • A residual bequest (whatever is left after all other gifts and costs have been deducted from your estate)
  • A gift of property, shares or insurance policies

Even if you already have a will you can make a codicil to add SPA to your existing beneficiaries.


Suggested wording

Here is an example of possible wording:

I give and bequeath to Sustainable Population Australia Inc. (Association Number A01831) of PO Box 3851, Weston, ACT 2611, the sum of $ _____ . I direct that the written receipt of the Treasurer or other officer of SPA shall be sufficient discharge therefor for my executor/executrix.

Our efforts will extend far into the future, through a bequest to SPA yours can too.

Population Quotes

"Australia's population size will be determine by how we manage this old flat and salty land. Population growth is one of the main drivers of increasing greenhouse gas emissions, along with energy consumption, economic growth and land use," he said.-Barry Pittock, retired scientist with the CSIRO's division of Atmospheric Research speaking at a conference titled "Food, Energy, and Population" held in Adelaide at the University of South Australia in July of 2002

Gillard on population: An outbreak of commonsense?

Sustainable Population Australia, the nation’s only environment group campaigning on reducing human population, is greatly encouraged by the comments of incoming Prime Minister Gillard about reducing immigration.

National President of SPA, Sandra Kanck, says that after more than two decades of hammering away at this issue and the spectacular population growth, which took place under the auspices of former PM Rudd, it appears Australia now might be on the brink of an outbreak of commonsense. Full Release

 

Discover biodiversity - every day

 

Biodiversity is the backbone of all life on earth, and its conservation lies at the very core of IUCN’s work. ‘Species of the Day’ has been launched as part of IUCN’s involvement in the International Year of Biodiversity.

With mounting scientific evidence of a serious extinction crisis, it’s time to take action. “The latest analysis of the IUCN Red List shows the 2010 target to reduce biodiversity loss will not be met,” says Jane Smart, Director of IUCN’s Biodiversity Conservation Group. “It’s time for governments to get serious about saving species and make sure it’s high on their agendas for next year, as we’re rapidly running out of time.”

Each day of 2010 will see a different species featured on the IUCN website, with information on the threats it faces. The 365 species selected represent the entire range of taxonomic groups and cover all regions. We have started by featuring some better known species, including the Polar Bear and will move on to cover plants, fungi, invertebrates and more. Both charismatic and obscure species will be featured, providing an insight into the astonishing level of biodiversity that exists.
