Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

Indigenous rangers and indigenous protected areas are essential to the protection of country. I believe Indigenous people with connection to the land know best how to detect changes, protect species and landscape, and work with scientists to mitigate the effects of climate change. The knowledge benefits all of Australia and I hope the programme will be expanded and continue indefinitely.

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.
