The government of Queensland has announced the creation of four new national parks and expanded another six to give more than 60,000 hectares of the state the greatest possible protection. These new parks will help protect Queensland’s amazing biodiversity and also help insulate the state against the impacts of climate change. The new protected areas serve as vital habitat corridors and ecosystems for rare, native species including frogs, rock wallabies, cassowaries and many other types of birds.
