For the month of October we have chosen
This is an independent not-for-profit committed to championing Indigenous land and sea management across Australia by supporting, advocating and amplifying the vital work of Indigenous Rangers, Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs), and Indigenous caring for Country.
Before European contact Indigenous Australians occupied and managed all of our continent for millennia. That connection has been sustained despite enormous challenges since colonisation. Our ecosystems today are a result of Indigenous use, occupation and management and require active management to sustain the unique biodiversity and natural values we all cherish.
In close collaboration with their extensive network of frontline Indigenous partners, their advocacy has helped build a new narrative for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who wish to live and work on their Country, for the benefit of all Australians.
They do this by ensuring Rangers and Traditional Owners can talk directly with decision makers, initiating constructive engagement with governments of all persuasions, through policy commentary and feedback, and by communicating with and mobilising a broad public support base through traditional and digital media.
If you are inspired and interested you should certainly watch their documentary Keeping Country Strong. The documentary highlights the critical work of Indigenous Rangers in Indigenous Protected Areas including Budj Bim IPA, Gaagal Wajaarr Proposed Sea Country IPA, Ngururrpa IPA, Tiwi Islands IPA, Anangu Tjutaku IPA, Lungtalanana IPA, Mayala IPA, SE Arnhem Land IPA and Karajarri IPA.
You can watch this at one of the screenings or on online at SBS.
