With a record of support for climate science and the environment and caring for communities, Sam Mostyn has deep experience working with community organisations for a fair and just world.
WWF-Australia is pleased to announce Her Excellency the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC, Governor General of Australia, as its new patron.
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome the Governor-General as our patron. Her sustainability leadership, support for climate and role now as Governor-General makes her a unique champion for nature, environment and communities,” said WWF-Australia President Judy Slatyer. “We look forward to working with the Governor-General and drawing on her experience as we work towards WWF’s goal to regenerate nature by 2030.”
Meanwhile, WWF-Australia CEO Dermot O’Gorman said that having had the privilege to serve on the Australian Council for International Development board when Mostyn was president, he knows firsthand her passionate commitment to caring for both people and the planet.
“This commitment puts her in a unique position to support WWF’s vital work – from empowering the Indigenous Women Rangers Environment Network to working on nature-based solutions partnerships with local communities across the Asia Pacific – as we move towards our 50th anniversary in 2028,” O’Gorman said.
Mostyn said that she has put care in all its forms, including care for the environment and nature, at the centre of her term as Governor-General, so she is delighted to follow her predecessors in becoming a patron of WWF-Australia, including General Hurley.
“I look forward to working again with Judy Slatyer, Dermot O’Gorman and the wonderful WWF team as it strives to regenerate nature and deliver positive outcomes for our wildlife, communities and climate,” she said.
