Nature Foundation partners with universities, community groups, Traditional Owners, government departments, businesses from all sectors, schools, landholders and volunteers. Our partners bring a diverse set of values, priorities, resources and competencies to the table, all connected by a common vision and a desire to achieve genuine outcomes for nature conservation.
Through partnerships with individuals and business we provide pathways where together we make a bigger contribution to the prosperity of our natural environment - more projects, in more places, with more people across South Australia.
Our partnerships offer:
- Access to knowledge/expertise: Mitigating risk and reducing potential mistakes by greater understanding of the operational context.
- Access to people: Drawing on a wider pool of technical expertise, experience, skills, labour and networks.
- Efficiency: Sharing resources allows for more efficient project delivery and avoids duplication.
- Innovation: Developing unexpected / new ways of addressing old issues and complex challenges.
