Episode Details

South Australia’s bold new “Travel for Nature” initiative lets tourists voluntarily pay a small extra fee—tied to their accommodation or tours—to directly fund conservation of endangered species like the Southern Brown Bandicoot and woodland birds. Launched by Tourism Minister Emily Bourke, the program empowers eco-tourism operators to opt-in, with CABN leading the charge as a sustainability-aligned pioneer.
