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.

We have recently made a submission regarding an independent Environment Protection Agency for Queensland.

The strategy provides a comprehensive framework to guide ALCA as we continue building a national voice for private land conservation. We welcome the progress towards improved emissions reductions targets as introduced to parliament yesterday.
ALCA’s position is that the Australian Government should commit to, at minimum, a 50% reduction in CO2-equivalent emissions by 2030 and, at minimum, net zero by 2040.

ALCA’s position on biodiversity and climate change targets The global push to be leaner, cleaner and greener is one of the seven megatrends described in the once-a-decade update from CSIRO. This megatrend includes net zero, biodiversity and resource efficiency.

As we saw in the state of environment report last week: “Protected areas are widely considered the most effective way to protect biodiversity. They generally support higher species richness and abundance than comparable areas that are not protected.” (soe.dcceew.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-07/soe2021-biodiversity.pdf p 21).
