Murujuga – the sacred rock art site in Western Australia’s Pilbara – has just been listed by UNESCO for World Heritage status. But scientific experts say preservation of the carvings – some dating back 50-thousand years – is still precarious after the federal government’s decision last month to conditionally extend the neighbouring North-West Shelf gas project. We brought you this story in 2024 and because of these very recent developments, we’re re-running the investigation by Tylah Tully from Curtin University to help you understand a story entwined in history, culture, science and politics.
