Partner Spotlight: Mimal Land Management

Introducing Country Needs People's new Partner Spotlight series, which will give an insight each edition into one of our partners, and the important work they do to protect Country.

Country Needs People work alongside a growing network of over 50 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander partner organisations, from Indigenous land and sea management organisations, to Indigenous Ranger Teams, to Local Aboriginal Land Councils and Aboriginal and Torres Strait organisations.
