Description
About Us
The Department of Conservation and Land Management is part of a greater conservation community and has distinct State government responsibilities for implementing Government policy within that community. Conservation is a collective role.
We have the lead responsibility for conserving the State's rich diversity of native plants, animals and natural ecosystems, and many of its unique landscapes. On behalf of the people of Western Australia, we manage more than 24 million hectares, including more than nine per cent of WA's land area: its national parks, marine parks, conservation parks, regional parks, State forests and timber reserves, nature reserves, and marine nature reserves.
As an agency with integrated responsibilities, we manage lands and waters for the conservation of biodiversity at ecosystem, species and genetic levels, including management for the renewable resources they provide, and for the recreation and visitor services they can sustainably support.
