ALCA member organisations support the diverse people, places and practices that contribute to the conservation and health of privately owned and managed land.
Our members are apolitical and together we are taking the lead on some of the most pressing conservation issues. We work across Australia to restore endangered ecosystems, expand finance and funding, build the protected area estate and use nature-based solutions to tackle climate change.

Today we are celebrating new investment in private land conservation. The final celebration today is the creation of the Western River Refuge, a private land partnership between the @Australian Wildlife Conservancy , the Kangaroo Island Land for Wildlife and private landholders.
The Western River Refuge now protects over 369 ha of critical habitat for threatened species, including Australia's most endangered mammal, the KI Dunnart. Generous support from philanthropic organisations including WIRES, and international grant maker Foundation Segre were critical to its success.
Outcomes like those we have celebrated today demonstrate the power of private investment in private land conservation.

Our second celebration is of regular people digging deep. An 18 month campaign inspired more than 1,000 people to support the acquisition of Tinderbox Hills by the Tasmanian Land Conservancy. Tinderbox Hills, is an important and diverse property on the east coast of Tasmania protecting habitat for species such as the forty-spotted pardalote and swift parrot.
Acquisitions and campaigns like this are demonstration of recent polling that tell us more than three quarters of Australians are concerned about the health of our country's forests, rivers and wildlife following the drought and bushfires.

Today we celebrate new expansions in private land conservation.
Investment in nature is critical to protect our native wildlife, bushfire affected regions, build resilience in our landscape and support healthy and productive ecosystems. The role of enduring private land conservation is a vital part of this. Today ALCA will celebrate three significant increases in private land conservation outcomes that have been achieved already this year and the incredible giving that has enabled them – and it is only March!
First, The Roundhouse. An incredibly generous and passionate conservation Volunteer Annelie Holden donated a special piece of land on Taungurang Country, to Bush Heritage Australia that her and her late partner George Dolton had stewarded for the better part of 40 years. Intended as a bequest, Annelie brought this gift forward so that she could see the impact of her donation in her lifetime. Thank you Annelie, your conservation efforts to date, including a Trust for Nature covenant, and the future land management by Bush Heritage Australia and its partners will see this 81 ha of critical habitat and the species that call it home protected forever.
