Conservation SA's Champions and Changemakers project aims to build the capacity and resilience of groups and people in the environment sector in SA.

We’ve put together a great suite of resources to help you as effective environmental champions. Whether you’re in a professional role or volunteering your time, Champions and Changemakers can help increase your impact and focus on the things that matter.

A team of generous professionals and community members in the environment sector have shared their knowledge and wisdom on four important themes:

Each theme is covered by a video and a handbook packed with knowledge, tools and inspiration to help maximise your environmental impact.

How to be a changemaker

Making change in the environment movement isn't always easy. This resource will help you hone your vision and increase your impact as an effective changemaker!

Reaching your audience

How do we maximise our engagement impact? How do we know if we’ve really got through to the right people? This resource addresses how to develop effective messages that really hit the mark — and how to track your reach.

Sustaining your group

Many conservation groups are under-resourced and reliant on a shrinking pool of volunteers.

'Sustaining your group' deals with a range of issues that can be challenging for groups, including group structure, strategic direction and succession planning.

Looking after yourself

It’s important to look after yourself in the short-term so that you’re able to contribute to the environmental movement over the long-term. Self-care is fundamental to our ability to be champions for the environment and make a real difference.

This resource looks at preventing and addressing burnout, dealing with environmental grief, and self-care strategies for environmental professionals and volunteers.

This project was made possible through funding from The Myer Foundation.
