About:
One of the most naturally and culturally diverse places on earth, Queensland is home to incredibly unique and globally important ecosystems. Queensland also has rich cultural values stewarded by the oldest living cultures on earth—the First Nations peoples from the lands and waters that make up Queensland. National parks and other protected areas play a vital role in maintaining and protecting these amazing biodiversity and cultural values, for future generations. Queensland already boasts more than 1,000 national parks and other protected areas, five UNESCO World Heritage sites and five significant wetlands protected under the international Ramsar convention. These areas conserve biodiversity and cultural values, and support functioning ecosystems that provide essential life services like clean air and water. Additional information:
