Good News for the Macquarie Marshes Ramsar site!

Included with commentary from the site manager and landholders.

In response to the record drought in Australia over 2017-2020 an ‘environmental flow’ has been released to replenish the extraordinary Macquarie Marshes, which had become completely dry in 2019. I decided to venture out to the marshes six weeks ago to make short film about the importance of ‘environmental water’ releases to the Macquarie Marshes because there are many who consider this to be a waste of water. With World wetlands Day nearly upon us (February 2) I thought I would share this in the hope you may find it useful in promoting the conservation of wetlands internationally.
