We are the voice for the environment in SA

Since 1971, the Conservation Council of South Australia has been committed to protecting, restoring and conserving our unique and beautiful natural spaces, and promoting a truly sustainable future for our state.

As the peak body for SA's environment, we are backed by 90,000+ people from more than 60 member groups across the state. Our role is unique and essential.

We speak for our environment, advocating solutions to government, engaging with the community and informing through the media.

We're not associated with any political party, but we play an active part in our democratic system, encouraging all political leaders to improve their policies and performance on environmental issues.

At its heart, Conservation SA is a movement of passionate people who care about our state's incredible natural environment – and we want you to be a part of it.

Together we are a powerful force for nature. Join us!
