Welcome to Inland Rivers Network.
The Inland Rivers Network (“IRN”) is a coalition of individuals and environment groups that advocate for healthy rivers, wetlands, and groundwater in the Murray-Darling Basin – particularly those in NSW.
We have been doing this work since 1991.
The long-term ecological sustainability of riverine ecosystems depends on people who are willing to:
- advocate for the conservation of biological diversity, maintenance of essential ecosystem functions and restoration of degraded habitats in the rivers, wetlands and ground-waters of the Murray Darling Basin.
- support the development of an effective law, policy, and planning framework for managing and conserving the riverine ecosystems of the Murray Darling Basin so that future generations inherit healthy ecosystems for the benefit of all.
- educate and build capacity of other individuals and organisations within and beyond the Murray Darling Basin in order to share knowledge, increase understanding and generate appreciation of the Basin’s riverine ecosystems, their ecological and cultural significance and management complexity,
In doing so we hope to realise near natural flows of water reaching the wetlands, billabongs, floodplains, swamps, ground water recharge areas, ephemeral lakes and seas so that region’s biological diversity remains healthy the natural life support systems on which all of us depends continue to function
IRN is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 [Cth].
