The Gingham watercourse is home to three turtle species, the broad-shelled turtle, the Murray River turtle and the eastern long-necked turtle." "Cutmore said she was “not happy with what’s gone down” and was concerned irrigators were “calling the shots over and over”. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/21/water-nsw-criticised-for-appalling-decision-after-hundreds-of-turtles-left-to-die-in-wetlands #biodiversity #turtles #wetland #EnvironmentalFlows #irrigation #cotton #NSW #wildlife #water #extractivism
