Formed in 1997, the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association (SCCA) is a registered non-profit charity volunteer association. We represent local conservation and community groups, and individual members working together to protect biodiversity on the Sunshine Coast.

Our work extends throughout the Sunshine Coast Forest District, which includes 2 million hectares of coastal temperate rainforest, as well as the coastal marine ecosystems surrounding the mainland and nearby islands, like Texada Island.

In order to achieve our goals, we work collaboratively with all levels of government, organizations, and individuals to host forums and events, undertake research and analysis, publish educational materials, and engage the public in advancing our shared conservation objectives.
