We work with local communities, scientists and government to advocate for evidence-based policy to safeguard wildlife, habitat and protected areas. We inspire connections with nature through citizen science, activities, action and education for all Victorians. We’ve led the creation, oversight and defence of Victoria’s natural estate for over 70 years.
