Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

There is no one better to look after the environment and landscape than the people who are culturally connected to these places. Hence indigenous rangers are the best way to manage country. It provides needed employment to indigenous people and it encourages all Australians to understand the connection that indigenous Australians have with their country; there are lessons for anyone who wants to care for country, their lands and waters. If we learn this connection we may all understand what it means to belong.

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
