Together, we believe in protecting, promoting and restoring wilderness and natural processes across Australia for the survival and ongoing evolution of life on Earth.

The Wilderness Society as you know it today was formed in 1976 to save the Franklin. In the early ’80s, archaeologists uncovered cultural artefacts at Kutikina Cave (formerly Fraser Cave; handed back to the First Nations community, the palawa, in 1995) in the Lower Franklin.
