Summary:Australian environmental groups have a proud record of defending the natural assets of this country. The Earth Charter calls for a new global ethics including the principles of social and economic justice, non-violence and peace. These broader questions are now being incorporated into the thinking of environmental groups. The Australian Conservation Foundation now embraces such principles as Living within our Means, and Securing a Sustainable Future for the Asia-Pacific, as well as its traditional goals of protecting the natural environment. The new thinking recognises that a fundamental shift in community values will be needed to underpin a sustainable future. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
