NPAQ’s quarterly magazine, Protected, contains in-depth articles on national parks, protected areas, biological conservation and biodiversity, as well as regular features focusing on a particular park, a native fauna or flora species, and getting to know a QPWS ranger from around the state.

Protected explores current research on why our parks must be valued and invites reader contributions of articles and images.
