Vision
WLFL exists because Queensland's natural heritage and
biodiversity are threatened.
WLFL's vision is to contribute to an ecologically sustainable
future for people and wildlife by conserving Queensland's
natural environment. WLFL recognises that this burden
cannot be carried by government alone.
The principal means of achieving WLFL's vision are:
1. to acquire or bring about the acquisition of land
with significant conservation and natural heritage values;
and
2. to protect and enhance those values through wise
and ecologically sustainable management.
WLFL complements the work of other organisations by
focussing on a network of smaller land parcels, generally
of less than 2000 hectares.
Mission Statement
Protect and enhance the Natural Environment in an ecologically
sustainable way. We will achieve this by acquiring and
managing areas in Queensland of high conservation and
heritage value.
Profile
The concept of WLFL as a body devoted to conservation
of the natural environment was developed and fostered
by the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland,
one of the longest established and most respected conservation
organisations in Queensland.
WLFL's property acquisitions are made possible by government
and philanthropic grants, donations by individuals,
groups and corporations, cash bequests and bequests
of specific land. WLFL and its public fund, the "Wildlife
Nature Reserve Fund", are Commonwealth registered
environmental organisations with tax deductible status.
WLFL seeks to complement these sources of assistance
by income generated from ecologically sustainable management
in appropriate instances.
WLFL is a non-profit, limited guarantee company. WLFL
conducts its operations through a strong network of
members, volunteers and experts throughout Queensland
and operates under the guidance of a board of volunteer
directors.
