Country Needs People support, advocate and amplify the vital work of Indigenous Rangers, Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs), and Indigenous caring for Country. They work to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in protecting and restoring biodiversity across their lands and seas while sustaining, strengthening and transmitting culture on Country.

When well supported and managed, Indigenous land and sea management is essential to protecting nature, transforming lives and sustaining culture.

The successes for Indigenous land and sea management include:

🌱 Protecting biodiversity by tackling the management of fire, feral animals, invasive weeds and threatened species.
🌱 Sustaining culture by helping Indigenous organisations facilitate the transfer of intergenerational knowledge.
🌱 Ensuring physical access to Country for renewing cultural responsibilities, active rehabilitation and protection of places of significance on land and sea.
🌱 Providing opportunities for people by creating valued locally supported jobs, enabling individuals to care for their families and creating a positive economic and social influence for communities.
