Plants and Animals

Protecting native plants and animals in our region is a significant focus of the work at NQ Dry Tropics.

A number of our activities have concentrated on looking after a particular animal like the black throated finch, the hairy nose wombat and Irwin’s turtle. Of course many other animals benefit from the projects we run.
