Indigenous Conservation
As much of the planet's life systems are lost, we urgently need innovative ways of looking after the iconic landscapes and extraordinary biodiversity of Australia. Contemporary conservation principles, together with Indigenous ecological knowledge and the expertise of Indigenous Traditional Owners are creating new ways for addressing the cluster of environmental issues facing our ancient continent. Indigenous conservation is an exciting part of WildCountry, and one that is generating social, economic and environmental returns.

Our campaign to stop the building of the proposed gas hub at James Price Point continues at pace. While the proponents proceed slowly down the path of deciding whether to fund the hub, the project needs a road. Without a road, construction of the gas hub cannot proceed.
Ngadju Traditional Owners in the Great Western Woodlands want to put in place a program which aims to develop and enrich the Indigenous fire practises of the region and provide land and fire management for the safety and benefit of the wider community.
A collaborative project in the Great Western Woodlands will locate and map culturally significant “water trees” in the traditional lands of the Ngadju people, so they might be safeguarded from damage or destruction.
