DBCA works with the community to ensure that Western Australia’s environment is valued, protected and conserved, for its intrinsic value, and for the appreciation and benefit of present and future generations.

Private land conservation makes a significant contribution to the conservation of Western Australia’s biodiversity and is an important complement to the formal conservation reserve system.

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions offers two programs for private land conservation in Western Australia.

Land for Wildlife is a free, voluntary and non-binding program which encourages and assists landholders to manage wildlife habitat on their property.

The Nature Conservation Covenant Program provides a legally binding agreement negotiated between the Department and Landowner to protect biodiversity values in perpetuity.
