We work together to advocate for increased investment to support expansion and effective management of state’s protected areas.

---

We support the Queensland Government’s vision of a world class protected area system and a vibrant and sustainable nature-based tourism industry.
 
Queensland’s national parks, marine parks and other protected areas sustain a highly valued nature-based tourism sector and play a vital role in conserving the state’s exceptional wildlife and wild places.
 
We support the Queensland Government’s commitment to double the extent of the state’s protected areas from 8 percent to 17 percent. Delivering on this commitment will provide new opportunities for tourism, recreation and regional development across the state, while providing improved protection for the state’s unique natural and cultural assets.
