Conservation Council of South Australia

The Council is an independent, non-profit and strictly non-party political organisation, established to "give a voice to the growing environmental challenges that face us and the emerging solutions showing the way to the future".

Combined, these groups represent over 90,000 South Australians with the common goals being the conservation and protection of the environment and a sustainable future.
