The NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) was established under Part 10 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The NSW BCT works with landholders across NSW to create new conservation areas on privately held land. These landholders manage these conservation areas to protect, connect and enhance biodiversity. Each area a landowner places under agreement with us contributes to and grows Australia's National Reserve System of public, Indigenous and privately protected areas. These areas are prioritised by a statewide Biodiversity Conservation Investment Strategy, and backed by science to ensure the unique plants, animals and ecosystems of our state are preserved for the future.
