WGCS

The Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists was established in 2002 during Australia's Millennium Drought. It is an independent collective of eminent Australian scientists, economists, and business professionals dedicated to the conservation and sustainable management of Australia’s land, water, and marine resources. The Group's main objective is to connect scientific knowledge to public policy, driving innovation in environmental management. They focus on water and land policy reforms to protect critical environments and biodiversity. The Wentworth Group has significantly influenced legislative reforms, promoting sustainable practices and science-based solutions for environmental stewardship. Their initiatives include national water reform, landscape conservation, and mentoring young scientists and policymakers.
