Australia’s recent 2022-23 Budget has allocated $634.6 million over six years from 2022-23 to expand the Indigenous Rangers Program via the National Indigenous Australians Agency. This much-needed funding aims to fund 1089 new rangers by 2026-27 and 88 new ranger groups nationally. In response to this announcement, WWF-Australia’s Indigenous Engagement Manager Cliff Cobbo explains what this investment means to First Peoples, in their ongoing efforts to heal and protect Country.
“WWF-Australia welcomes the support to double the number of Indigenous rangers caring for Country, and looks forward to seeing their impact expand across this vast continent.
It’s important all Australians understand the unique and deep relationship Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have with our traditional lands and seascapes. " - Cliff Cobbo, Indigenous Engagement Manager, WWF-Australia (Wakka Wakka nation)
