Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

There are no other people more qualified to look after our country than Indigenous people who have generations of expertise dating back 40-60,000 years. Australia needs more Indigenous rangers and Indigenous Protected Areas to ensure our beautiful country is maintained and protected from the likes of miners and multinational corporations who take and destroy for no other purpose but to make profits. Governments need to stop thinking short-term with their neo-liberal policies and instead think long-term. As our world continues to be impacted by climate change we need to advocate for ecological justice.

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.
