Cape York Peninsula in far north Queensland, north of Cairns, is one of the last great wild places on Earth. But its wild rivers are unprotected.

These magnificent rivers are the lifeblood for the Cape's communities and a huge diversity of wildlife. For instance, the Wenlock River has more species of fish than any other river system in Australia.

Protection of these rivers will help secure a sustainable future for this irreplaceable environment and its people.

The Queensland Government is now considering protecting for the wild rivers of Cape York Peninsula. We need your urgent help to make this happen.
