Western Australia expands national parks by 6.5 million hectares, protecting species and creating jobs.

Western Australia's government has expanded national parks by 6.5 million hectares, protecting over 600 species and creating 277 jobs, mostly for Aboriginal groups. This effort, part of a plan to become a "conservation superpower," also helps safeguard critical habitats and supports local biodiversity. The project is seen as a model for other Australian states aiming to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030.
