Protecting our native animals and plants

While native plants and animals in NSW parks and reserves are protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, some threatened species and sensitive habitats in these parks have been given extra protection as Assets of Intergenerational Significance. These include the extremely rare haloragodendron lucasii, asterolasia elegans, and the critically endangered Nielsen Park she-oak.
