| The Department
of Environment and Conservation.
The national parks are the responsibility of the Department
of Environment and Conservation who have the lead responsibility
for protecting the State's environment on behalf of Western
Australians. There are many ways to support their stewardship
including being aware of your environmental impact while visiting
the National Parks. We also recommend their little Bushbooks
to gain knowledge about the area and its diversity, which
you can buy online from their website.
As a family, we found the objectives of the DEC incredibly
inspiring, and hope that this website supports them in: Conserving
Bio diversity, Promoting Environmentally Sustainable Practices,
in Creating a World-Class Parks System, Protecting the Environment
and Maintaining Community Involvement in these issues. We
also were touched by their eighth objective which truly exemplifies
the organisation as being aware: "Fostering a Positive
Work Culture of Trust." We are truly blessed to have
them.
