Protecting Natural and Cultural Heritage Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park - Project 1 Western Tracks

Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is Australia's oldest national park established primarily for nature conservation. It is one of the top ranking biodiversity reserves, recognised as a species rich area on a national scale, and identified as one of Australia's richest and significant terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity hotspots. It enjoys strong community support and receives more than two million visitors annually. This project will rehabilitate habitat and tracks in the western park, delivering significant ecological improvements, extensive weed control and regeneration, bush track upgrades to minimize visitor impact, visitor infrastructure maintenance, and stabilising erosion created by increasing intense storm events.

库林盖蔡斯国家公园（Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park）是澳大利亚历史最悠久的国家公园，其设立初衷以自然保护为核心。它是顶级生物多样性保护区之一，在全国范围内被认定为物种富集区域，同时被列为澳大利亚物种最为丰富、极具代表性的陆地与淡水生物多样性热点地区之一。该公园获得社会各界广泛支持，年接待游客量超200万人次。本项目将对公园西部区域的栖息地与步道开展修复工作，具体包括：实现显著生态改善、实施大规模杂草防控与原生植被恢复、升级林间步道以最大限度降低游客活动的负面影响、维护游客基础设施，以及加固由愈发频发的极端暴雨事件引发的侵蚀区域。
