Our
Reserves
Protecting Land. Linking Landscapes.
Endeavour Conservation currently owns and protects a growing network of 22 conservation reserves across Queensland and New South Wales. Each property is carefully selected for its ecological value — from tropical rainforests and dry woodlands to floodplains and alpine ecosystems.
Our reserves protect critical habitat, support endangered species, and help restore ecological connectivity across diverse bioregions.
Cape York
Vast tropical savannas and rainforest systems span this northernmost region of Queensland. Cape York is home to an extraordinary mix of species found nowhere else on Earth. The landscape ranges from rugged sandstone escarpments to seasonal wetlands and monsoon forests. This collection of habitats is now recognised and preserved for its global environmental significance.

North Coast
Stretching along the eastern seaboard, the North Coast bioregion is home to subtropical rainforests, coastal wetlands, and eucalypt woodlands. The region supports some of the highest biodiversity in New South Wales. Its mild climate and fertile soils create ideal conditions for many rare and threatened species. These landscapes are under pressure from development, making conservation vital.

Running along the eastern backbone of New South Wales, the Great Dividing Range encompasses highlands, escarpments, and plateaus. This region features diverse forest types, from dry sclerophyll to cool temperate rainforest. It provides key water catchments and refuges for many species affected by climate change. The rugged terrain offers a mosaic of microclimates and ecological niches.
