Descrição
Paruku (Lake Gregory) is a vast, internationally significant, and remote wetland system located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, on the boundary of the Great Sandy and Tanami Deserts.
Covering 430,000 hectares, this Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) serves as a vital refuge for over 100,000 waterbirds, featuring brackish to freshwater habitats.
Fed by Sturt Creek, the lake system consists of salt lakes that often hold fresh water after monsoonal rains. It is a critical habitat for over 70 species of waterbirds, including pelicans and swans, particularly after wet seasons.
