“A great deal of the marine debris in Northern Australian waters originates from the fishing industry and much of this comes from South East Asia. Large numbers of ghost nets drift into the Gulf of Carpentaria during the Monsoon capturing the fish, reptiles, birds and mammals that live in the Gulf.”
— Peter Hylands

The world we don’t want will be the world we get. The Murujuga tells us all we need to know.
Visiting Ramsar Sites in Victoria can be a shocking experience, doing so a few weeks before the start of yet another duck shooting season adds to the distress.
Despite the claims of some Victorian politicians and their public servants that the slaughter of waterbirds on Ramsar sites is an economic benefit it is likely that the precise opposite is the case.
When it rains in the dry places in Central Australia, every drop is precious, it means more water in the waterholes, so important for the animals that live here.
It is November. On this journey we begin by travelling along Ellery Creek (from Wallace Rockhole) and join the Finke River at the confluence of the two. At this point both rivers are dry.
In a creek in the Northern Territory, each small creature’s life world is interwoven to produce an ecosystem vibrating with life.
Japan, which joined the Ramsar Convention in October 1980, has 53 Ramsar sites, many in the Japanese wild of Hokkaido.
We take some time to track down some of the animals that still survive. Gentle, beautiful and precious, each and every one.
Water Dragons are strong swimmers and can be seen catching the sun near waterways, stretched out on overhanging branches or nearby rocks.
Turtles are ancient indeed, today’s species, almost unchanged since the appearance of their ancestors 245 million years ago.
Jellyfish have been swimming in the world’s oceans and seas for more than half a billion years.
At the camp Waka also discovered the severed head of a Saltwater Crocodile (Bäru) in a hessian bag.
Another natural catastrophe is unfolding on Australia’s internationally protected Ramsar Wetlands.
