National parks provide a safe home for native plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. National parks give us places to enjoy. National parks help us to learn about the environment, history and wild life.
National parks protect the best of our natural heritage: stunning landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and majestic forests.Together with other protected areas they form the basis of our economic and social wellbeing, attract millions of visitors annually, and help to protect Australia’s unique wildlife by acting as a refuge for threatened species. Although their primary purpose is the protection of biodiversity, National Parks also deliver other invaluable economic, social, cultural and health benefits to Australians. Future generations deserve the right to see these natural values intact and protected as we do today.
