Cairns & Far North Environment Centre
The Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC) is the peak regional non-government environment organisation for Far North Queensland. It was established in 1981 by concerned local and regional community members with an interest in nature conservation and environmental protection. Our mission as an organisation is to ensure the unique and special natural heritage of Far North Queensland is protected. Planning and Development Development along Queensland’s east coast has continues to result in the loss of habitat. Koalas, cassowaries, through to dugongs, dolphins and reefs are being lost at alarming rates. Marine Conservation Marine Parks, habitat protection, and reducing land based impacts on our marine environment have been central to the work of CAFNEC for decades. Overharvesting, pollution, shipping and other threats to our oceans, reefs and coastal waters continue to grow. Protection of the Coral Sea and managing the impacts of coastal activities and mining are just two of the many issues we are currently working to address.
