The Organisation

Queensland Conservation Council is the state’s peak non-government environment group. Our mission is to protect our natural environment and climate and make Queensland communities more sustainable.

We achieve our goals by advocating to the government, engaging with the community and informing through the media. We apply the latest scientific research to develop policies. We monitor progress and rate the performance of governments, their programs, and companies, holding them accountable to their commitments to the environment. Incorporated in 1969, we are a non-profit community organisation with no political affiliations.

We have a membership of almost 60 environment groups throughout Queensland, who we consult and coordinate with. We’re growing, with 16 staff, and an ambitious plan to grow the Environment movement in Queensland.

The Campaign

Queensland is the most biologically diverse state in an exceptionally diverse country. For the past three years, Queensland Conservation Council has been working with the Pew Charitable Trusts scaling up its work in Queensland, with a focus on increasing large scale protected areas outcomes and land management funding.
