Giving back 10% of profits to protect our favourite places
At Outdoor Gear Comparison, we believe that every business has an obligation to support the environment that goes beyond recycling office paper. That's why we have committed to donating 10% of our profits to help protect ecosystems, species and historical structures across Australia and New Zealand.
Protecting Ecosystems
Protecting critical ecosystems like Takayna in north-west Tasmania, the largest temperate rainforest in Australia, and second largest in the world. Takayna is home to over 60 threatened and endangered species. In 2014, the Tasmanian Government converted 100,000 hectares of nature reserve in Takayna to future potential production forest, and logging commenced in 2020.
Supporting Endangered Species
Working with organisations to protect species on the brink of extinction such as the Southern Corroboree Frog with a population of less than 50, and the Spotted Handfish with a remaining population of less than 100. There are over 86 critically endangered species of plants, animals and insects across Australia.
Maintaining Historic Structures
We work with organisations like Wildcare Queensland, Wildcare Tas and their local groups to help maintain the walking tracks and enviroment that we all enjoy. We also support the Mountain Huts Preservation Society and Kosciusko Huts Association who maintain and restore historic walking huts.
