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, build the protected area estate, tackle invasive species, expand private conservation finance and funding and use nature-based solutions to tackle climate change.

Farmers are also already engaged in action on the biodiversity crisis through work to protect, manage and restore habitat. Our climate and biodiversity crises must and can be tackled together. Leading producers are actively engaging with ALCA members to restore landscapes and address climate change and to better understand, measure and manage the biodiversity on their farms.

Global leaders will gather next week at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum – known as Davos. Here are 4 reasons why nature must be at the heart of their discussions. ALCA has recently made a submission to the consultation on Victoria’s emissions reduction target for 2035. The submission highlights the opportunity to leverage nature-based solutions to address the linked threats of climate change and biodiversity loss.
The 11 recommendations made in the submission include policy review, land tax reform, expanded funding, development of natural capital markets, and immediate cessation of native vegetation clearing.
