changing status
From pre European settlement to present day, the status of Kosciuszko National Park has changed from a place of resource, to a place of cultural and environmental significance. Originally Aboriginal people came to the park to feed and collaborate with other tribes, they were one with Country and respected the resources given. Europeans bought their take all give nothing back attitude and exploited the land with mining, grazing, logging and hydro-electric schemes until the park under law became protected as the Kosciuszko State Park. Present day sees the region protected and valued for all things involving cultural heritage, flora and fauna. Kosciuszko National Park is recognised as NSW largest protected area.
Many people and organisations are responsible for developing the area into a National Park to keep it protected for the future. Government bodies including environment minister and state and federal members are mostly responsible for the changing in status of the park. Environmentalist groups, scientists, park rangers and lobbyist groups also contributed to the decision making
