The Kimberley is known the world over as one the last remaining regions yet to be impacted by industrialisation and urbanisation. It has intact landscapes that are unlike any others in the world. The coast is in the top 4% of most intact marine areas on the planet and the tropical savannah here is the least damaged. Despite this, significant challenges face us in ensuring the protection of the region.
