Partner with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust

Why the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust?

Everlasting impact

Our legal covenanting power and long-term funding help protect and pay for conservation management forever.

Backed by government

We are Australia’s leading covenant program offering a diversity of conservation opportunities on privately-managed land.

A trusted network

We have a network of conservation agreement-holders supported by expert staff who live and work across NSW.

Science based investment outcomes

Our programs expand the nation's protected natural areas, contributing to the Global Biodiversity Framework's 30x30 Target, and are assured through globally-recognised reporting.

Biodiversity supports business

Nature is essential to our economy and way of life. But it's under pressure.

In the past 50 years, nearly 70% of wildlife has been lost worldwide. In NSW and across Australia, biodiversity is still declining, even with efforts to protect it.

This matters for business. Australia’s economy depends directly on nature with healthy ecosystems supporting industries like farming, tourism, construction and energy.

Businesses have a real stake in protecting nature. That's why we offer proven, practical ways to work together. Our opportunities for impact help reverse biodiversity decline while supporting businesses in addressing nature and climate goals related to regulatory frameworks such as The Taskforce on Nature-related Disclosures (TFND) and the Science Based Targets Initiatives.
