Floodplain connections in Kakadu National Park

The multi-year research studies on the floodplain ecosystems and their resources of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia are wrapping up. IAN has been working with the National Environmental Research Program Northern Hub at Charles Darwin University to help synthesize the results of this research. The goal of the project is to communicate the key findings of research on Kakadu floodplains, and recommendations for managing threats to those resources from invasive species, climate change, and saltwater intrusion. To that end, a series of workshops have been conducted, with the most recent one being May 18-19 in Brisbane, where Dr. Heath Kelsey and Jane Hawkey met with a team of the research scientists.
