Conservation and science
Victoria is home to the most diverse collection of landscapes in Australia. These landscapes support a wider range of ecosystems than any area of similar size in Australia.
Our conservation programs help reduce threats and improve the health of our natural landscapes.

We know that to best look after something, we need to first understand what it is and how it works. That's why our conservation approach is based on best-practice science.
Featured conservation projects
Nature Conservation Strategy
The Nature Conservation Strategy 2021-2031 sets out how Parks Victoria aims to conserve and protect nature on Victoria’s parks estate.
Using fire to restore habitat at Wilsons Prom
Some ecosystems within Wilsons Promontory National Park rely on fire to stay healthy and we use ecological planned burning to help their restoration and renewal.
Feral horse management
Horses are not a natural part of the Australian environment. Parks Victoria works with community and experts to design and deliver programs that can help control feral horse populations.
Victoria’s diverse landscapes support a wider range of ecosystems than any area of a similar size in Australia, meaning that this part of the world is jam packed with weird and wonderful life.
Following the bushfires, work is underway to assess the extent and impact of damage to parks. Guided by science we're gathering data to understand the impacts on biodiversity for our flora and fauna.
We are committed to conservation
Nature is complicated and we will never know it all
