Kakadu National Park has become one of Australia’s most prized cultural landscapes since it was added to the World Heritage List in 1981. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to the region, usually during the dry season, to witness the magical gunwardebim (local Kunwinjku language term for rock art) at Ubirr.
However, increasing tourism and accelerated climate change have exacerbated the threats to Ubirr and other cultural heritage sites in Kakadu.
