What's the Story?

Answer

Over the last few years, the NT Government has supported Indigenous Ranger groups across the Territory with a funding program to help their operations. These grants provide crucial support from ranger bases to work vehiclesessential equipment and key project funding, enabling Indigenous Rangers to manage fire, weeds, feral animals, cultural values and environmental threats on Country. 

But the funding is due to run out soon. 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 to extend funding for Indigenous Rangers before the 2024 election. 

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.
