Snap Rally: Don’t Slay Our Dragon!

The Canberra Airport has yet again betrayed its own commitment to save the Canberra Grassland Earless Dragon from extinction, by restarting construction of its deadly and unnecessary “Northern Road” directly over one of the three remaining populations of the Canberra Dragon.

The last time the Airport tried to get away with construction of the road without first protecting the Canberra Dragon population from extinction, we successfully mobilised enough public pressure to halt construction. Now, we must continue our mobilisation to save the Canberra Dragon from extinction once and for all! Help grow our campaign by attending our snap rally on Tuesday the 6th of May at 12pm in Petrie Plaza where we will publicly call on the Airport and newly elected government to halt construction of the deadly and unnecessary Northern-Airport Road.

If you can’t make the snap rally, then spread the word so others can go in your place! Additionally, there are plenty of other ways you can get involved!

First of all, if you haven’t already sign our petition calling for an immediate end to the deadly and unnecessary construction of the Northern Airport Road and all further plans to do so.

Next, sign-up to our newsletter and/or follow our social media @conservationact on Instagram and @ConservationCouncilACTRegion on Facebook if you’re not already to keep up to date on the campaign and ways you can get involved.

Lastly, having conversations with your friends, family and colleagues about the Canberra Dragon and the different ways we can help protect this species is the most effective way we can grow our campaign.

Get in touch with our campaigner, Aoibhinn, at aoibhinn.cimmins@conservationcouncil.org.au if you have any queries about the snap rally or the broader campaign.

We hope to see you there!
