Country Needs People

Marnie will be speaking about Country Needs People and the programs they are involved with.

The Country Needs People campaign is a growing group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians calling on decision-makers to:

1. Double the number of Indigenous rangers.
2. Create a fund for ranger training, capacity building, networking and capital costs.
3. Double the funding for the Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) program. 
4. Ensure equal employment opportunities for women rangers by 2030. 

Indigenous rangers and Indigenous Protected Areas deliver outstanding success for people and nature. Indigenous land and sea management programs are a contemporary expression of the unbroken and ancient connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to this continent.
