The VNPA is the leading voice for nature conservation in Victoria, and meets regularly with heads of government agencies and State Government ministers. Generous philanthropic support from the community gives us the capacity to make a real difference to nature conservation in Victoria.
We are currently working on:
- Defending the integrity and improving the funding and management of national parks and reserves
·
- Improving the management of marine and coastal areas
- Monitoring threats and government responses to biodiversity and nature
We educate the community, industry and government on conservation issues by actively encouraging community involvement in conservation and appreciation of nature and national parks through community education work.
Our community engagement and education programs include bushwalking, tree planting and monitoring plants and animals through our NatureWatch and Reef Watch programs.
