Australian Parks and Wildlife Service

The Australian Parks and Wildlife Service (APWS) is a government agency responsible for managing national parks, wildlife reserves, and conservation areas across Australia. Its main goals include protecting diverse ecosystems, preserving native flora and fauna, and providing opportunities for the public to enjoy nature through recreation and tourism. The agency conducts research, enforces wildlife protection laws, and collaborates with Indigenous communities to manage land sustainably. By balancing conservation with public access, the APWS aims to maintain Australia’s natural heritage for future generations.
