Place

Kakadu national park is the largest national park in Australia. Located 240 km east of Darwin in Australia's tropical north. It is recognised as a global treasure, World Heritage listed for both its environment and living Aboriginal culture.

Space

Kakadu national park covers 20,000 square kilometres. It extends from the coast in the north through floodplains, billabongs and lowlands to rocky ridges and stone country in the south.

Environment

Animals: Some of the animals that live in the park are , saltwater crocodile ,short-eared rock-wallaby ,black-neck stork ,plumed whistling ducks ,Antilopine Kangaroo and black wallaroos.

Vegetation: There are more than 2,000 species of plants. Many of the plants have been used by local Aboriginal people for generations as bush foods, medicines and weaving materials.

Climate:

Interconnection

Tourists: Each year more than 200,000 people visit Kakadu national park. Most people visit in the dry season months (June to September). last year (2016) park rangers delivered 1,155 activities to 43,325 tourists.

One of the of the effects that have caused danger to the environment is mining. Since 2009 the Ranger Uranium mine leaks 100,00L of contaminated water into the ground underneath the Kakadu national park every single day.

Sustainability

What people need to do to keep the park clean and open for further years to come is ,don't litter ,always treat the environment the way that you would want to be treated ,stop mining because it is letting out contaminated water and just to keep it nice and clean and tidy.

Scale

Management: The park rangers have joined forces with parks Australia to works together to help solve problems ,share skills and information to help keep the park open.

Change

One of the changes that is occurring in climate change: The sea levels are rising ,saltwater erosion and the temperature is increasing.

There is a serious risk to the fresh water wet lands because of the salt water erosion. The salt could end up in the fresh water systems and destroy the wetlands. I think this is happing because of the rising temperatures.
