Much more funding is required to protect and restore the places and things we love. 

Our financial investment in nature has been falling for a decade. A fundamental change is needed to address the accelerating extinction crisis and help ensure the survival of all species on Earth - including humans.

We are asking the parties to commit to:

Investing an additional $1billion over four years to protect, restore and enhance nature and biodiversity in SA.

A minimum of three-year government and landscape board contracts for partnership work with eNGO sector, to enable longer-term gains.

Growing capacity in the for-purpose sector through increased funding, inc. peak body funding to the Conservation Council of SA.

A significant increase in funding for the recovery of South Australia’s threatened wildlife, distributed according to cost-effectiveness prioritisation.

Continuing and increasing the funding of the Revitalising Private Conservation program to $18 million over three years (a collaboration between environment and agricultural organisations that provides technical and financial assistance to current and aspiring native vegetation Heritage Agreement owners across the state).
