Great news! The NSW government is converting two massive cattle stations, Corinya and Tasman, into national parks, protecting 71,000 hectares of unique Outback landscape.
· Major Conservation: The move permanently safeguards vital habitats in previously underrepresented bioregions and protects at least 11 bird species.
· Cultural Protection: The area is rich in Aboriginal cultural heritage, with artefacts and art sites now preserved for future generations.
· Community Benefit: New visitor facilities will boost nature-based tourism, diversifying the local economy that already sees millions from park visitors.
This is a significant win for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional communities.
