The project is a strategic, ongoing investment and initiative aimed at addressing the key environmental threats facing the Currawinya Lakes Rasmar site and its associated wetlands.
The project responds to a range of challenges that threaten the ecological integrity and long-term sustainability of these ecosystems. These include habitat degradation caused by feral animals, the spread of invasive weed species, altered hydrological regimes, loss of ground cover, increased risk of wildfires, and the impacts of unsustainable land management practices.
Through the implementation of targeted weed and pest control, habitat restoration, and innovative approaches to groundcover and livestock management, the project seeks to build the resilience of these wetland environments by managing the land surrounding the Ramsar site.
This project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust and delivered by Southern Queensland Landscapes, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners Panel.
