Description:
The exceptionally beautiful islands of the Kimberley lie within one of the world’s last great wilderness areas. There are more than 2,500 mapped islands along this visually stunning coastline and they support many regionally endemic and threatened species. With a few exceptions, the Kimberley islands have remained almost free of invasive species and are less altered by fire compared to the adjacent mainland. However, this remote coastal region has seen increasing human activity in recent years, bringing a range of potential risks to the natural values of the Kimberley islands.
