Tasmanian Land Conservancy

Our vision is for Tasmania to be a global leader in nature conservation.

Through science, community and enduring commitment, we inspire and empower people to conserve nature in Tasmania; we do this for the benefit of current and future human generations and for nature itself.

In a changing world, our work is more important than ever. We hold that nature underpins all life and that our efforts contribute to a future where nature is flourishing, valued and fundamental to Tasmania’s character. We believe we achieve more for nature by working with others to apply the best available science in our decision making. We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we work and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. And we strive to harness the connection of all Tasmanians to this land in achieving our vision

Across Tasmania, we buy land of high natural value to protect habitats for rare and threatened species into the future. We covenant land to resell to conservation-minded owners. We work with landholders to identify, protect and manage habitat on their own properties. And we establish our own nature reserves, where we conduct scientific research and monitoring that informs active management. Our work is carried out by volunteers, expert staff and conservation partners across the state.
