Mission Statement
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) was established more than 20 years ago because Australia has the worst mammal extinction rate in the world and a very high proportion of our surviving animals and plants (over 1,800 species) are listed as threatened with extinction. “Business as usual” for conservation in Australia will mean additional extinctions. AWC is therefore developing and implementing a new model for conservation to reverse the decline in our wildlife. AWC's mission is the effective conservation of all Australian native wildlife and the habitats in which they live. Our strategy is simple: Establish sanctuaries by acquiring land and through partnerships with landholders; and Implement practical land management – feral animal control and fire management – informed by good science.
About This Cause
AWC is the largest private owner of land for conservation in Australia. We manage 30 properties, protecting endangered wildlife across over 6.5 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, Lake Eyre and the Top End. The AWC estate protects a very high proportion of Australia’s terrestrial biodiversity including: 72% of all terrestrial mammal species; 88% of all terrestrial bird species; and around 54% of all reptile and frog species. AWC protects some of the largest remaining populations of many of Australia’s endangered species including Bilbies, Numbats, Woylies, Bridled Nailtail Wallabies, Gouldian Finches and Purple-crowned Fairy-wrens.
