The community is resisting the push for commercial development in national parks.
National parks and conservation reserves are special places protected under law and cover 18% of Victoria’s land area and 5% of its coastal waters. They conserve natural places for both people and nature, and are also important for recreation, tourism, carbon storage and keeping our air and water clean.
We work to protect existing parks from many challenges including invasive pests, funding shortfalls, limited management capacity, inappropriate commercial development and climate change.
