  1. Ashesh Dahal Kakadu National Park

  2. Kakadu National Park • Kakadu has been home to Aboriginal people for more than 50,000 years, and during that time the land and their culture have become intertwined. • The natural and cultural heritage of Kakadu has been recognised on the World Heritage List, and the park's wetlands are recognised for their international significance under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (the Ramsar convention).

  3. Flora and Fauna • The diverse environments of Kakadu National Park support an astonishing array of animals, a number of which have adapted to particular habitats. Some animals in the park are considered rare, endangered or endemic (not found anywhere else in the world). • Kakadu is one of the few places in Australia where there have been limited, if any, extinctions of plants or animals over the last 200 years. The elusive black wallaroo and rare white-throated grass-wren are restricted to the stone country associated with the Arnhem Land Plateau.

  4. Introduced Species • Asian water buffalo were introduced into northern Australian settlements between the 1820s and the 1840s, as work animals and for meat and hides. As these settlements were abandoned, the buffalo were released and quickly spread across the lowlands of the Alligator Rivers region. • Horses are particularly common in the southern woodlands of the park. They spread weeds and damage waterholes by eroding soil and fouling the water. Recent control measures have reduced the number of horses along the Kakadu Highway. • Cats are present in low numbers throughout the park. Casual observations and research from southern Australia suggest that cats' hunting activity is having a detrimental effect on native wildlife. Cats are not allowed to be kept as pets in the township of Jabiru.

  5. Possible solutions • Some possible solutions are, keep other different national animals away from each other so they don’t destroy each others habitat and they don’t fight and hurt each other for territory • Made by, Yours truly Ashesh Dahal.
