Bush Heritage Australia’s Conservation Efforts in the Murray Darling

Bush Heritage Australia has been working to protect environmentally significant habitats along the Murray-Darling Basin, ensuring their preservation and protection.

Thanks to Bush Heritage Austraila’s recent acquisition of the property Nil Desperandum, they’ll be able to better manage places like the Yantabulla Swamp, which is a nationally significant wetland in the region.

We spoke to Bridget Roberts (pictured left), an ecologist with Bush Heritage Australia, on her role in the project.

“  These are the places throughout Australia which are really facing huge levels of degradation. So as we continue to extract, pollute, divert water from our waterways, places like this […] might become more important as these other resources are lost.”
