Protecting Australia's rivers and estuaries of high conservation value

Product Information

Australia has a rich variety of different rivers, wetlands and estuaries that support a significant amount of its biodiversity and industry. Important social values of Australia’s Indigenous and European culture are also intimately linked to the integrity of our rivers. Despite this, compared with terrestrial conservation (e.g. national parks and reserves, and regional forest agreements), there has generally been a poor focus on conservation of these ecosystems in Australia.
