10 SIGNIFICANT,
INTERCONNECTED DIVERSE & CULTURALLY RICH HABITATS WITHIN A MANAGEABLE AREA.
BIOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT
Juunjuwarra country contains 10 significant, interconnected, diverse and culturally rich habitats within a highly manageable area.
This is a tenure of 40,000 land and 110 Sea Country hectares, which means that projects we initiate today can be easily managed to provide sustainably for the future.
Rare and isolated highland rainforest connects to woodland escarpments that flows to a rich coastal plain with diverse forest types including tea tree forests, woodlands, rare coastal rainforest, littoral rainforest and riverine rainforest. This interconnects to the wetlands, lagoons and salt pans that sit behind the largest mangrove system and seagrass beds on the east coast of Australia.
PRECIOUS SEA & REEF CATCHMENTS
Huge seagrass beds provide a home to the largest, southernmost, stable dugong herd and provides part of the rich coastal habitat that represents one of the most productive fish nurseries in Queensland. This diverse coast filters the water to the islands and world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.
COUNTRY TALKS
Juunjuwarra are repairing our lands, saving culture and healing our people not just in a physical sense, but by restoring faith in our traditional knowledge and ways, our cultural observations-the way we see country, we listen to our country and it tells us what it needs.
