Waterway Health

The biggest threat to the health of the Great Barrier Reef is climate change but it is also impacted by poor water quality flowing off the land and over-fishing.

As one of seven catchments adjacent to the Reef, the Wet Tropics is a particular hotspot for nutrient and pesticide runoff due to our short, sharp rivers, heavy rainfall, intensive coastal agriculture and close proximity to the coast.

Terrain NRM has been heavily involved in land-based Reef projects since the first government projects began in 2009. We have successfully delivered several large government-funded projects that are focused on helping farmers change to priority farming practices with a low water quality risk

There are ??? endangered species in the region. Terrain successfully lobbied the Government to have two of them, the cassowary and the mahogany glider, listed on Australia’s priority threatened species list.

Several of our projects are restoring and protecting habitat corridors for these animals as well as endangered ecological communitie such as Mabi rainforest and Littoral rainforest.
