Research from around the world is demonstrating that effective protected area management delivers positive outcomes for biodiversity, safeguarding it for future generations. Nature Foundation’s nature reserves comprise almost 40% of all private protected areas in South Australia and 6% nationally.
We work closely with universities, Traditional Owners, government departments, business from all sectors, community groups, schools, landholders and volunteers to achieve the best outcomes for restoring and protecting habitat. Your support enables us to protect more of the plants, animals and landscapes of South Australia and beyond.
Nature Foundation represents its members and supporters nationally via the Australian Land Conservation Alliance (ALCA), an organisation working across diverse landscapes, united by the vision of a future where nature thrives Australia‐wide. In South Australia we work closely with the SA Nature Alliance (SANA).
Together we can all ensure that Australia’s unique biodiversity, landscapes and waters will be there for future generations to delight in. Do something significant for nature today and become a Nature Foundation member!
