Conservation is strongest when communities have a voice.

What We Look For Before Publishing a Campaign

ConserveConnect is intended for heritage and community campaigns that present a clear issue, provide reliable information and seek constructive conservation-led outcomes.

A Clear Heritage or Community Issue

The campaign should concern a building, place, community asset, conservation issue or related matter with a clear public interest.

Evidence and Accuracy

Claims should be capable of being supported by reliable information, documents, photographs or other appropriate evidence.

A Constructive Outcome

Campaigns should explain what they are seeking to achieve and, wherever possible, identify practical conservation-led or community-based alternatives.

Respectful Public Participation

Campaigns must encourage informed and responsible participation and must not rely on personal attacks, misleading claims or abusive campaigning.

Every submission is reviewed before publication and must comply with the ConserveConnect Ethical Campaign Charter .
