AWC
A new model for conservation
Australian Wildlife Conservancy is the largest private owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across almost 4.8 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, Lake Eyre and the Top End. Recognising that ‘business as usual’ for conservation in Australia will mean additional extinctions, AWC is developing and implementing a new model for conservation.

The secret to AWC’s success is our commitment to practical, on-ground land management informed by world class science. Almost 80 per cent of AWC’s staff is based in the field, including more than 50 ecologists. The scale at which we undertake practical land management activities such as fire management and feral animal control is unique within Australia.
