About
The National Parks Association of NSW is a non-government conservation group located in Goulburn Mulwaree Council, dedicated to protecting, connecting, and restoring the integrity and diversity of natural systems in New South Wales and beyond. Their primary focus is on national parks, marine sanctuaries, and other means of conservation.
The association is actively involved in campaigning and advocacy efforts to prevent damaging developments, such as the construction of overhead transmission lines as part of the Snowy 2. 0 project. They strongly believe in holding the government accountable for the protection of natural environments and protected areas.
The National Parks Association of NSW invites individuals and organisations to partner with them and invest in the future of Kosciuszko National Park. Their goal is to preserve the beautiful landscape and protect precious habitats, emphasising that national parks should not be used for commercial ventures but should instead foster the flourishing of native flora and fauna while promoting the wellbeing of those who enjoy these natural spaces.
To help fund their conservation efforts, the association runs various initiatives, including the 2023 NPA Raffle, encouraging community participation by purchasing tickets. They also organise webinars, such as NPA Webinars – Connecting with Nature, to engage individuals in learning about and appreciating the natural environment.
The National Parks Association of NSW recently expressed their support for the 'Yes' campaign in the Voice referendum, recognising the importance of creating a diverse and inclusive society. They also celebrated the NSW Environment Minister's decision to suspend timber harvesting operations within koala hubs of the Great Koala National Park, applauding the safeguarding of vital koala habitats.
To get involved with the National Parks Association of NSW, individuals can join the association, participate in their campaigns and initiatives, and donate to support their conservation efforts.
