        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.
