Over the last few years, the NT Government has supported Indigenous Ranger groups right across the Territory with a funding program to help their operations. These grants provide crucial support – from ranger bases to work vehicles, essential equipment and key project funding, enabling Indigenous Rangers to manage fire, weeds, feral animals, cultural values and environmental threats on Country.
But now we need your help to make sure the pollies publicly commit to renewing, and preferably strengthening, this funding before the election by telling us exactly how much they will invest in it for the next four years. By signing this petition you will send a message to your local MP or candidate to help ensure this vital funding continues. Ahead of the 2024 NT Election, now is the right time to let your local candidates know that Territorians want secure funding for Indigenous Rangers for the next term of government.
Sign the petition to call on all NT pollies to publicly commit before the August 2024 election to extend funding for another four years for Indigenous Rangers through the NT Aboriginal Ranger Grants Program.
