Country Needs People

With damaging threats to Country including climate change, invasive species, loss of cultural values and more, Indigenous Rangers and Traditional Owners play a key role managing and maintaining our environment and cultural heritage. 

Our thorough report highlights 12 key recommendations including support of the ‘two toolbox’ approach involving the collaboration of traditional knowledge and western science, as well as outlining the case for operational support, beneficial policies, sustainable funding structures and more. 

Learn about the importance of community-based Indigenous land and sea management with case studies, testimonials, detailed recommendations and the information that informs them in our Strong on Country report here.

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.
