Protecting Lake Albacutya Ramsar Site Values

The ecological and cultural values of the Lake Abacutya Ramsar Site of north western Victoria will be protected and enhanced through targeted threat abatement works involving Parks Victoria, Traditional Owners, and the Rainbow Landcare Group. On-ground works will reduce critical threats posed by rabbits in culturally sensitive areas. This is a priority for helping to meet Australia’s international obligations to protect native species and ecological communities, cultural heritage and cultural diversity at the site, facilitating natural regeneration and recruitment of the Pine Buloke woodland and other flora species that provide habitat for the large number and variety of waterfowl that rely on the Ramsar Site during wet periods.
