Cane Toads — rapid colonisation by cane toads. Monitoring programmes are in place to determine cane toad distribution and the impacts on native wildlife within different habitats of the park. There are no known methods to manage populations of cane toads over large areas; however the Australian Government is undertaking research into potential control and adaptation options. About us.

Outstanding Universal Value Brief synthesis Kakadu National Park is a living cultural landscape with exceptional natural and cultural values. Integrity The property encompasses all the natural and cultural attributes necessary to convey its outstanding universal value.
Authenticity Large areas of Kakadu are virtually inaccessible to people other than the Indigenous traditional owners, and the Indigenous and non-Indigenous national park managers. Protection and management requirements The property is well protected by legislation and is co-managed with the Aboriginal traditional owners, which is an essential aspect of the management system.
Key management issues that have been identified include: Tourism — significant increase in visitation as a result of its World Heritage inscription. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the park in ways that do not adversely affect its natural and cultural values; Mining — management of abandoned small-scale uranium mining sites and monitoring the existing Ranger mine lease. The future potential effects on the park of current uranium mining will require ongoing scrutiny; Cultural sites — work to conserve rock art sites in the face of natural and chemical weathering from increasing age and damage from water, vegetation, mud-building wasps, termites, feral animals and humans; Introduced flora — ongoing management to control and prevent the spread of introduced weeds particularly Mimosa pigra and Salvinia molesta ; and Introduced fauna — removal of Asian water buffalo and the resulting restoration of affected ecosystems.
Since the nomination, additional threats to World Heritage values have emerged, including: Climate change — saltwater incursions into freshwater ecosystems, changing fire seasons and regimes and an increased potential for spread of exotic flora and fauna.
Park managers are implementing a climate change strategy for the park that recommends a range of adaptation, mitigation and communication actions to manage the anticipated consequences of climate change; Decline of small mammals across northern Australia — the causes of decline are unclear however initial theories suggest fire management regimes, feral cats and introduction of disease as the likely causes; and Cane Toads — rapid colonisation by cane toads.
