About the organisation
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across more than 6.4 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, the Top End and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. With a focus on practical land management and world-class science, AWC is implementing a dynamic new model for conservation. Our core business is protecting threatened species, such as the Bilby, the Gouldian Finch and the Numbat.
AWC’s mission – to deliver effective conservation for all Australian animal species and their habitats – is achieved through the integration of world-class science and land management (i.e. fire management, feral animal control, weed eradication). Our work is funded primarily through private philanthropic donations and support from the general public.
