According to new research, gamba grass will replace the existing ecosystems across about 30 per cent of the park by 2032 if further action isn't taken.

The Lake Eyre Basin and it's globally significant rivers are under threat and overlooked by state and national governments. Time to deliver protection for these rivers and their colossal floodplain wetlands. They are no place for gas fields. https://t.co/wpVgOxqNDA
