Editing Mole Creek Karst National Park (section)

===Future success of conservation=== 
The future success of the Mole Creek Karst National Park as both a tourist attraction, and as a conservation refuge is dependent on a combination of management and protection practices.

====Education====
The most successful avenue to the continued protection and conservation of the national park and the cave systems, is the education of the public that use them.  Much of the physical degradation and damage to cave systems is due to the lack of knowledge of proper conservation minded caving exploration by the people visiting the caves.<ref name=eberhard2000 /> Providing education in the form of guided tours; which already exist for some of the caves, with tour guides or are knowledgeable and passionate about the conservation of the unique cave flora and fauna,  will be a worthwhile aspect in improving education of the delicacy of the cave ecosystems.<ref name=eberhard2000 />

Providing signage containing information of the cave species present, their significance to the ecosystem and their delicate nature would help keep the public mindful to take care when exploring caves.<ref name=eberhard2000 />

====Restoration and management====
Proper restoration and construction of barriers and marked paths within the caves is an important aspect of cave protection and conservation. By marking paths clearly within caves, and roping off areas of significant known fragility, it can be ensured that visitors do not damage or degrade the habitat of cave-dwelling organisms, or the fantastic natural speleothem sand calcite structures present in the caves.<ref name=eberhard2000 />

====Observation====
Monitoring systems to assess the changes in baseline microclimate aspects would also be a worthwhile investment in the continued protection of fragile cave ecosystems. Timely knowledge of changes in air pressure or intensity, condensation and humidity levels, and temperature of caves could help to thwart potentially catastrophic effects to cave-dwelling organisms caused by changes in their microclimate.<ref name=eberhard2000 /><ref name=eberhard2001 /><ref name=defreitas2003 />

====Importance of preservation==== 
The caves present in the Mole Creek Karst National Park are significantly important in scientific, conservation and recreational aspects.<ref name=parks2004 /> For the purpose of scientific importance and conservation, the caves in the national park contain rare fauna, which exist only in these caves, as well as an entire ecosystem of unique cave-dwelling organisms completely dependent and constrained to the cave systems.<ref name=eberhard2000 /> These organisms can live only in the caves, and as such, the caves need to be preserved in order to ensure the continued preservation of the organisms they contain. The national park draws visitors from all around the world, and the revenue garnered from their stay helps fund the continued conservation and protection of the Mole Creek Karst National Park.<ref name=parks2004 />

The national park itself as an entirety contains a wide and diverse range of flora, fauna and landforms, many of which are rare, threatened or endangered. It also possesses many unique natural wonders, such as the karst landscape and its extensive cave network.<ref name=eberhard2000 /> Protection of the national park ensures the preservation of these species and unique landforms, to be studied and enjoyed by future generations. These aspects  are important for no reason other than their own intrinsic value, and inherent uniqueness and beauty, and the continued preservation  will ensure it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
