National Reserve System

The National Reserve System is Australia’s network of protected areas, including national parks and conservation zones. It aims to conserve the country’s unique plants, animals, and ecosystems while allowing sustainable recreation and use. Managed by government agencies, it safeguards biodiversity, supports cultural heritage, and provides essential ecosystem services like clean water and air. The system is designed to expand and connect these protected areas, ensuring long-term environmental health and resilience across the country.
