Ramsar sites.

The Murrumbidgee region is also home to the internationally significant Ginini Flats wetlands in the upper catchment, and the Ramsar listed Fivebough and Tuckerbil Swamps within the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.

And their rest stops in China are being reclaimed for building, apparently.
