The Department of Environment and Conservation is a department of the Government of Western Australia that is responsible for implementing the state's conservation and environment policies. It was formed on 1 July 2006 by the amalgamation of the Department of Environment and the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM).

The department manages more than 240,000 km², including more than nine per cent of WA's land area: its national parks, marine parks, conservation parks, regional parks, State forests and timber reserves, nature reserves, and marine nature reserves. It provides visitor and recreation facilities at a sustainable level for many of these.

It also oversees the following authorities: -

  • Environmental Protection Authority
  • Conservation Commission of WA

The DEC is also responsible for the wildlife conservation project Western Shield.
