This message will be sent to the Indigenous Affairs Minister and your local MP

Dear Indigenous Affairs Minister Scullion and <your local MP's name will be automatically included>,

Indigenous ranger programs and Indigenous Protected Areas are working. They’re working for the environment, and they’re working for communities.

I recognise the value of work of Indigenous rangers and you should too by calling on the Prime Minister to double funding for Indigenous rangers and IPAs, secure long term contracts and set a long term target of 5000 Indigenous land and sea management jobs.

Yours sincerely,

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.
