31 July 2014
Martin Copley AM, 1940 - 2014
It is with great sadness that we report that Martin Copley, AWC's Founder and
Chairman for nearly 15 years, passed away on 30 July after a short illness.
Martin was a great Australian - in our view, no-one has done more for the
conservation of Australia's native wildlife. From the time he started work at
Karakamia in 1991, Martin dedicated his life to saving Australia's endangered
animals: from Woylies and Black-flanked Rock-wallabies to Gouldian Finches and
Golden-backed Tree-rats, Martin has made an extraordinary contribution to
slowing and reversing the extinction crisis in Australia.

to read more about Martin's remarkable achievement in establishing AWC, from
his initial acquisition of 200 hectares near Perth to his role in developing
our network of 23 sanctuaries covering 3 million hectares across Australia.

In 2010, Martin was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his
service to conservation and the environment. Perhaps Martin's greatest legacy
is the fact that AWC is now supported by thousands of other people, like you,
who share his passion for our native wildlife and his determination to prevent
further extinctions.
Earlier this year, Martin's daughter, Sophie Chamberlain, joined him on the AWC
Board, ensuring the Copley family's leadership and involvement with AWC will
continue for many years to come.
This is a very sad time for everyone associated with AWC. We have lost a dear
friend and the Woylies, Black-flanked Rock-wallabies and other endangered
species have lost a passionate and devoted advocate.

Together, we will celebrate and commemorate Martin's life and
achievements in a variety of ways over the coming weeks and months. Most
importantly, we will honour Martin and all that he built and achieved by
continuing AWC's important work ... and, in particular, doing everything we can
to save Australia's wildlife.
