Over the past 200 years Australia's biodiversity has declined fastest than any other country. Cape York has over 100 species that are listed as threatened, vulnerable or endangered on the Nature Conservation Act (1992).
The Cape York landscape is grounded with ancient and fragile soils, which require careful management to ensure long term health of the land and to maintain our water quality across Cape York for the generations to come.
This map shows the frequency of burns in the Cape York region from 2000 to 2015 ranging from never burned to burned every year. Data is sourced from the Northern Australia Fire Information site.
