 The different areas of Kakadu National Park support a huge number of animals, a number of which have adapted to particular habitats.
Kakadu National Park 
 Because of the extreme weather conditions experienced in the Park, many animals are active only at particular times of the day or night or at particular times of the year.
Kakadu National Park 
 Most of them live in the open forest and woodlands and are nocturnal, making it difficult to see them.
Kakadu National Park

Kakadu National Park 
 Kakadu’s varied landscapes and the habitats they contain are features that contributed to its listing as a World Heritage Area.
Kakadu National Park 
 Most of Kakadu was under a shallow sea about 140 million years ago, with the escarpment wall formed from sea cliffs and Arnhem Land from a flat plateau above the sea.
Kakadu National Park 
 Currently the escarpment rises 330 metres above the plateau and stretches 500 kilometres along the East edge of the park and on into Arnhem Land.
Kakadu National Park 
 The escarpment varies from near vertical cliffs in the Jim Jim Falls area to isolated outliers and stepped cliffs in the North.
Kakadu National Park 
 The plateau top is a harsh, dry environment where water drains away quickly and top soil is scarce in most areas.
Kakadu National Park 
 These areas form microclimates for plants and animals and often serve as a refuge during the dry season.
Kakadu National Park 
 Allosyncarpia ternata, a large shady tree found only in the Kakadu and Arnhem Land, is the main plant species.
Kakadu National Park 
 The outliers are pieces of the Arnhem Land plateau that have become separated from the plateau by erosion.
Kakadu National Park 
 The soils are shallow and often are above large sheets of laterite (ironstone) and a thick profile of strongly leached rocks.
Kakadu National Park 
 During the wet season, water carried down from the Arnhem Land plateau often overflows from creeks and rivers onto nearby floodplains.
Kakadu National Park 
 Nutrient-rich soils along with an abundance of water and sunlight make the floodplains an area of prolific plant and animal life.
Kakadu National Park 
 Kakadu’s wetlands are listed under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (the Ramsar Convention) for their outstanding ecological, botanical, zoological and hydrological features.
Kakadu National Park 
 The southern hills and basins cover a large area in the south of the Park, including the headwaters of the South Alligator River.

Kakadu National Park 
 Kakadu’s coast and the creeks and river systems under tidal influence (extending about 100 kilometres inland) make up this landform.
Kakadu National Park 
 The shape of the estuaries and tidal flats varies considerably from the dry season to the wet season.
Kakadu National Park 
 During the wet season the river beds are eroded by the floodwaters and large quantities of fresh and saline water flow out across the tidal flats, where silt is deposited.
Kakadu National Park 
 Large silt loads are also carried out to sea, some of the silt being deposited as a nutrient rich layer on the sea floor, contributing to the muddy waters that characterise Kakadu’s coastline.
Kakadu National Park 
 The estuaries and tidal flats are home to many plants and animals adapted to living in the oxygen-deficient saline mud.
Kakadu National Park 
 Where freshwater springs occur along the coasts and river banks, isolated pockets of coastal monsoon rainforests form.
Kakadu National Park

 Fires in northern Australia are less threatening than in southern Australia as many of the trees are largely fire resistant while other plants simply grow back very quickly.
Kakadu National Park 
 Controlled burning is practiced by the national park in consultation with traditional owners who have used fire as a land management tool for thousands of years.
Kakadu National Park 
 The other benefit is that once the fire has gone through an area the tender shoots of the fast regenerating grasses attract wallabies into a clearly defined area.
Kakadu National Park 
 Birds of prey such as Whistling Kites also rely on fire to flush out small animals and are usually found in large numbers circling a fire front.
Kakadu National Park 
 Aboriginal people understand that fire is necessary to ‘clean up’ the landscape and believe that many small fires are preferable to one large fire.

Kakadu National Park 
 The Park is proclaimed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act) and is managed through a joint management arrangement between the Aboriginal traditional owners and the Director of National Parks.
Kakadu National Park 
 The Director manages Commonwealth national parks through Parks Australia, which is a part of the Department of the Environment and Water Resources.
Kakadu National Park 
 The land trusts have leased their land to the Director of National Parks for the purpose of a national park for the enjoyment and benefit of all Australians and international visitors.
Kakadu National Park 
 Traditional owners have also expected that having their land managed as a national park would assist them in looking after their land in the face of growing and competing pressures.
Kakadu National Park 
 They saw a national park as establishing a way to manage the land that could protect their interests and be sympathetic to their aspirations.
Kakadu National Park 
 Parks Australia and the Aboriginal traditional owners of Kakadu are committed to the principle of joint management of the Park and arrangements to help this happen are highlighted in Kakadu’s Plan of Management.
Kakadu National Park 
 The Kakadu Board of Management, which has an Aboriginal majority (ten out of fifteen members), representing the Aboriginal traditional owners of land in the Park, was established in 1989.
Kakadu National Park 
 The Board determines policy for managing the Park and is responsible, along with the Director, for preparing plans of management for the Park.
Kakadu National Park 
 The Plan of Management is the main policy document for the Park and strives to balance strategic or long-term goals and tactical or day to day goals.
Kakadu National Park 
 Day to day management of Kakadu is carried out by people employed by Parks Australia, which is a branch of the Australian Government’s Department of the Environment and Water Resources.
Kakadu National Park 
 Money raised will help manage the natural and cultural values of the park environment and improve visitor services.
Kakadu National Park 
 Like many World Heritage sites around the world, including Yellowstone National Park, Serengeti National Park, Stonehenge, Pompeii and Herculaneum and the Pyramids of Giza - a park use fee will help maintain world-best management practices and facilities for the more than 200,000 visitors who experience Kakadu each year.
