An alliance of Queensland’s leading tourism and conservation organisations
We work together to advocate for increased investment to support expansion and effective management of stateโs protected areas.
We support the Queensland Governmentโs vision of a world class protected area system and a vibrant and sustainable nature-based tourism industry.
Queenslandโs national parks, marine parks and other protected areas sustain a highly valued nature-based tourism sector and play a vital role in conserving the stateโs exceptional wildlife and wild places.
We support the Queensland Governmentโs commitment to double the extent of the stateโs 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 stateโs unique natural and cultural assets.
