澳洲新南威爾斯州政府優先考慮農業灌溉與收割，導致濕地水源短缺。 為了滿足農業需求，政府數年來阻斷了濕地的水流，對野生動物造成嚴重危害。有些龜被困在沼澤中，蛙類及鳥類的繁殖週期亦受到干擾，對生態系統造成長期破壞。
In Australia, the New South Wales government prioritized agricultural harvesting and irrigation over the ecological needs of the Gwydir wetlands. Environmental water flows were intentionally halted for several years to accommodate agricultural demands, leading to significant harm to wildlife. Turtles were trapped in bogs, and the breeding cycles of frogs and birds were disrupted, causing long‑term damage to the ecosystem.
