Kakadu National Park is one of Australia’s largest and most significant UNESCO World Heritage sites, recognised for both its natural landscapes and cultural history that stretches back more than 50,000 years. Located in the Northern Territory, the park includes a wide range of environments such as wetlands, floodplains, escarpments and monsoon forests. It supports an impressive variety of wildlife, including a large crocodile population and roughly one third of all bird species found in Australia. Kakadu is jointly managed by its Aboriginal traditional owners and the Australian government, with a board of management in place to protect and preserve the land.
