Hosted by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), this webinar explores the often-overlooked ecological and cultural significance of desert oases in Australia’s arid landscapes.
From restoring spring flow in the Great Artesian Basin through bore-capping efforts to navigating development pressures from growing infrastructure demands, this session will highlight the challenges and opportunities in safeguarding these vital ecosystems. Participants will hear how oases serve as biodiversity hubs and cultural heritage sites, and how conservation strategies are evolving to balance ecological resilience with national development needs.
