Canberra water catchment shows signs of climate change

3 months ago by tau to c/canberra

Like melting glaciers in Antarctica or bleached coral on the Great Barrier Reef, Namadgi National Park is showing signs of damage linked to global warming.

ACT Parks and Conservation says interventions in the Namadgi National Park are helping mosses to recover faster and bogs to stay wetter for longer.

The landscape is still scarred from the 2020 Orroral Valley bushfire which burnt 80 per cent of the park.

Experts warn the ecosystem is fragile in the face of climate change and Canberra's water supply is directly affected.

The icon is a Gang Gang Cockatoo, which is a pretty cool bird and also the ACT faunal emblem.
