Australia’s Wild Top End
The NT is famous for rugged, beautiful landscapes. It’s home to Australia’s largest terrestrial national park (Kakadu) and for Uluru (formerly known as Ayre’s Rock). Throughout the Territory, Indigenous connection to Country is strong and a large percentage remains in, or has been returned to, Indigenous ownership. We work closely with Indigenous Traditional Owners, assisting with science-based land management.
Our Work in NT
Supporting Women Rangers in Northern Australia
Aboriginal women hold special knowledge that is vital to caring for Country. Read about how TNC is helping to build community support for and awareness of women’s role in Indigenous land management.
Fighting fire with fire
The smart use of fire, such as the reinstatement of traditional fire regimes used by Indigenous Australians for tens of thousands of years, has many positive benefits for conservation, local communities and for huge reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Working with Indigenous Australians for Conservation
Working in this way keeps traditional knowledge alive, makes the conservation work more successful and helps the transfer of knowledge from elders to young people.
