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.

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.
