Kelly O'Shanassy

Kelly O'Shanassy is the CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting the environment and advocating for stronger nature laws in Australia. Recently, she has been vocal about the Australian government's amendments to national nature protection laws, which she argues undermine environmental safeguards, particularly concerning the endangered Maugean skate and the impact of salmon farming. O'Shanassy has been actively engaging with leaders in the environmental movement to address these regulatory changes, expressing concern over the long-term implications for Australia's natural habitats and species.
