NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service play an essential role in the conservation of our state’s biodiversity. Parks and reserves offer physical protection to endangered wildlife, while conservation and research programs target particular Australian native plants, animals and ecosystems under threat. Weeding and pest animal programs, many of which involve community volunteers, contribute enormously to the restoration of native habitats. Fire management strategies are developed for each park to protect life and Aboriginal cultural and historic heritage sites.
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is the first national parks agency in Australia to adopt a zero extinctions target, ensuring our parks are permanent strongholds for our threatened species.
