About Us

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is responsible for South Australia's nature conservation, heritage conservation and animal welfare.

We collect and provide information and knowledge about the state's environment. We manage the state's public land including national parks, marine parks, botanic gardens and the coastline. We also advise on environmental policy.

DENR is part of the Environment and Conservation Portfolio and reports to the Minister for Environment and Conservation. We deliver the Government's environment policies directly and through partnerships. These are with other government agencies, including the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation, the Environment Protection Authority, Zero Waste SA, Natural Resources Management Boards, and Primary Industries and Resources SA, as well as & a wide range of non-government environment organisations, industry bodies and the community.
