Dear ExampleContactFirstName

Short couple of weeks in front of us - so I will keep it brief!

World leaders and their rhetoric are currently posing threats to all human health and the environment - ALGA's mission is to promote the protection, restoration and management of land and groundwater for the benefit of human health and the broader environment across Australasia.

Looking at "in the news", there are still many real and immediate issues facing us, outside of an impending nuclear war, but it is good to step back and reflect: real vs perceived; risk vs uncertainty; actual vs theoretical.

As always any suggestions or concerns do not hesitate contacting me directly OR use the "soapbox" button on the website.

Enjoy!

Elisabethe Dank
Chief Executive Officer
