No. There are no oilfields in the sea off the coast of Queensland. Currently, much of that area is still protected and cannot be exploited for oil.

World Database on Protected Areas was created in 1981.

Dzanga-Sangha Complex of Protected Areas was created in 1990.

National System of Protected Areas - Colombia - was created in 1994.

In Queensland the cultivation of sugarcane continues as the cane grows to let air and water into the soil and control any weeds. Queensland grows 95% of all sugarcane crop in Australia.

Yes, there are maps available showing the distribution of bilbies in Australia. Bilbies are primarily found in arid and semi-arid regions of central and western Australia. They are known to inhabit various habitats such as deserts, grasslands, and woodlands. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and preserve the remaining populations of bilbies in their natural habitat.

They are given protected areas, forests are saved, and they are housed in national parks. ( and )

There are no waves.

The beaches of North Queensland are protected by the Great Barrier Reef. This prevents the formation of decent swells along the shoreline - except in cyclonic weather.

There were two major episodes of flooding in Queensland in 2009. One took place in northern Queensland in February, and another series of floods affected large areas of the state including Brisbane in May.

In swamps, rivers, and protected areas.

The Islands and Protected Areas of the Gulf of California were inscribed as a World Heritage site in 2005.

Bilbies used to be found over about 70% of the Australian continent, but European settlement has forced them inland to just the dry, arid areas.

Bilbies are now critically endangered, and can only be found in isolated areas of far western Queensland and the Northern Territory, and areas of the Great Sandy Desert, Pilbara and Kimberley areas of Western Australia. In Queensland, they may be seen in a protected area near Charleville, in the west. The weather in these areas is hot and dry during the day, tending to very cold at night in winter time.

Bilbies live in burrows in hot, dry grasslands and semi-arid spinifex areas. The burrow entrance is often positioned against a termite mound or small shrub, and a single bilby may have up to a dozen burrows that it uses either for shelter from the heat during the day, or as a quick escape route from predators.

Amazingly adaptable for their size and the threats to them, bilbies can live in sandstone ridges, gibber plains, rocky soils with little ground cover, a variety of grasslands, and acacia scrub.

Yes I believe guniea pigs are legal in almost all areas.

Bilbies (small marsupials sometimes known as rabbit-eared bandicoots) are critically endangered, and can only be found in isolated areas of far western Queensland and the Northern Territory, and areas of the Great Sandy Desert, Pilbara and Kimberley areas of Western Australia. In Queensland, they may be seen in a protected area near Charleville, in the west. Bilbies live in burrows in hot, dry grasslands and semi-arid spinifex areas.

Queensland (and indeed Australia) has no native cacti. The most common cactus that grows wild is the prickly pear, a voracious pest which is found virtually anywhere outside of urban areas.

Central Queensland Australia is the main Sapphire area in Australia.

In the areas of Saphire and Emmerald.

The Eastern Pygmy-possum is not restricted to any area of southern or southeastern Queensland. It is found in south-eastern Australia, extending from southern Queensland (including areas of southeast Queensland) to eastern South Australia and Tasmania. In NSW its distribution extends from the coast inland as far as the Pilliga, Lachlan River's western reaches and Wagga Wagga on the western slopes .

The whiptail wallaby lives in grassy Savannah and light, shrubby, open bushland areas of Queensland. It tends to prefer areas of higher elevation.

Monarch butterflies are protected because they are an indicator of ecological balance within their migratory areas. The presence of these butterflies is a god indication of the health of areas within the range of their habitat and distribution.

Yes it is. In Australia, land is broken up into eight separate areas and classified as either states or territories.

The states are Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland. Territories are; Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory.

The Orange River has areas along it that are protected. The Orange River Basin of the Sehlabathebe National Park at the headwaters is protected. The Mokala National Park is protected and so is the Sperrgebiet National Park at the mouth of the river.

Usually in protected covered areas that block sunlight in the day

Because in some areas they're indangered.

No - the flood plains should be protected from building

Yes. Windsor was one of the worst affected areas in the 1974 Brisbane floods.

Because certain parts of the wilderness hold more endangered species than others so the govt makes those areas protected against harm so the endangered animals can thrive and become more populated.

That is a debatable issue. There are economic arguments in favor of drilling for oil in protected areas, and environmental arguments against such drilling. My personal sympathies lie with the environmental arguments.

Yes, it is illegal. These reptiles are protected by law, and may not be trapped except by licenced reptile handlers, or wildlife carers.

Ecotourism is one of the popular activities in Suriname. Ecotourism is 'green' travel to fragile, pristine, usually protected areas. Around 80 percent of Suriname is covered with pristine tropical rainforests. A number of protected areas have been established. These areas are popular destinations for ecotourists.

The Queensland floods started in Queensland

The amount of rain in the Queensland flood varied across the region, with some areas experiencing significantly higher rainfall than others. In some places, there were record-breaking rainfall totals over a short period of time, contributing to flooding. The exact amount of rain would depend on the specific location within Queensland.

Parts of southern Queensland were affected by the floods that hit 75% of Queensland in the summer of 2010-2011. Goondiwindi in the southwest and several other southern towns such as Warwick and Stanthorpe were affected, as was the state's capital, Brisbane. However, many pockets of southern Queensland escaped any impact; these areas included the Gold Coast and Redland City.

The Optusnet is the Internet service offered by Optus in Australia. Their main coverage areas are Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. They also have small areas of spotty coverage in other areas throughout Australia.

Opals are mined in Queensland, Australia, primarily in the areas around the towns of Lightning Ridge, Coober Pedy, and Mintabie. These regions are known for producing high-quality opals with vibrant colors and unique patterns.

Approximately 25%.

Coastal areas can be protected from over development by implementing strict zoning and building regulations, establishing marine protected areas, promoting sustainable tourism practices, and engaging with the local community in decision-making processes to ensure their concerns are heard and addressed. Additionally, conducting environmental impact assessments before any development project can help to identify potential risks and ensure that the ecosystem is safeguarded.

Animals and plants are best protected in designated conservation areas, such as national parks, wildlife reserves, and protected areas. These areas provide a safe and managed environment for biodiversity to thrive and are essential for the long-term survival of many species. Conservation efforts within these areas help to preserve habitats, prevent habitat destruction, and regulate human activities to minimize negative impacts on wildlife and plant life.

The Daintree is a huge tropical rainforest in Queensland, Australia, much of which is protected as the Daintree National Park. It is the oldest tropical rainforest in the world that is still intact. Being protected under World Heritage Listing , it does not produce anything of commercial value.

There are a number of forestry and logging areas in Australia. Tasmania is a common place, unfortunately, as logging spoils this otherwise beautiful wilderness. Other logging areas include parts of Victoria, eastern NSW and southeast Queensland.

Queensland is translated to "Queensland" in French as there is no native French equivalent for this Australian state.

There is no state known as South Queensland. There is only Queensland.

Queensland is not in a tropic. The Tropic of Capricorn runs through Queensland.
