Conservation Volunteers Australia - WCA

Our founders envisioned a future for restoring networks of wetlands across Australia that would provide the connectivity to ensure healthy functioning ecosystems that support life. As Australia’s only dedicated national wetland conservation organisation our reach has been extensive in moving that dream towards a reality.

Our primary focus has been onground action and building the capacity of and providing ongoing support to over 16,000 volunteers, community groups, landholders and natural resource managers. Together we have conserved, restored and sustainably managed over 175,000ha of Australia’s functioning wetland ecosystems and their catchments and assisted wetland managers in rehabilitation planning through mapping and assessing over 1,480,000ha of wetlands across NSW and QLD.

We have earned our reputation as an influential change agent and partnership builder through our solid track record in managing and delivering hundreds of projects that have resulted in improved wetland ecosystems and their sustainable use.

Our work is far from done though. We are committed to continuing the path our founders laid to work towards delivering on their vision.
