Lake Eyre Basin, Australia | Lake Eyre Basin Partnership
The Lake Eyre Basin Partnership drove the protection of the Lake Eyre Basin, having emerged through the Lake Eyre Basin Intergovernmental Agreement—focusing state, territory and the Australian governments on protecting its free-flowing rivers—and the Community Advisory Committee and Scientific Advisory Panel, appointed by the Lake Eyre Basin Ministerial Forum. The 20-year partnership kept rivers healthy while encouraging sustainable economic growth, particularly in the areas of tourism and organic beef production. Watch video here
