Tropical North Queensland once supported extensive rainforests, but logging, mining, and agricultural production over the past two centuries have destroyed and degraded many rainforest habitats, disrupting the patterns and processes that keep these forests vibrant. Students examine how different land uses affect water quality, erosion, and the success of invasive species as well as the ecological processes within remnant rainforest patches. We engage with Aboriginal elders to learn more about their culture and efforts to reclaim their role in land management.
