Australian Wetlands Conservation Program

The Australian Wetlands Conservation Program aims to protect and restore the country's vital wetland ecosystems, which include swamps, marshes, and floodplains. These areas support diverse wildlife, improve water quality, and provide essential services like flood control and carbon storage. The program focuses on monitoring, research, and collaboration with local communities and landholders to ensure these habitats are preserved for future generations. By promoting sustainable practices and raising awareness, the initiative seeks to balance environmental health with social and economic needs across Australia’s unique landscapes.
