Territory Eco-link is conservation for the 21st Century. It will deliver more than 2000 kilometres of linked protected areas by coordinating public and private conservation areas on a large scale.
The Territory’s National Parks and Reserves provide a foundation for our conservation efforts, but they alone cannot fully protect our unique plants and animals.
Territory Eco-link is a globally significant approach to conservation. It will see the Territory Government create partnerships with stakeholders and landowners to achieve more effective and broader conservation outcomes.
By creating these partnerships, common conservation efforts will occur across our wide landscapes and help keep our ecological processes intact.
Already, Indigenous ranger groups, pastoralists and private conservation groups are increasingly undertaking an active role in conservation on their own land.
The Territory Government’s will assist and enhance these voluntary efforts, through Territory Eco-link for the benefit of our environment and all Territorians.
Scientific evidence proves that properly managed broad-scale connections between parks can provide the buffer that animals and plants need in the face of changes in temperature, rainfall or fire.
Linking these areas for Territory-Eco-link will be approached in a series of stages, centred around six key individual links that will grow and eventually join landscapes together.
The six key links from north to south are:- Kakadu Link
- Darwin Link
- Litchfield Link
- Gregory Link
- Tanami Link: and
- Central Desert link
