See how you can support the trust

The Karrkad Kanjdji Trust offices are located on the lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge their long, sustained connection to the land, skies and waters and pay our respect to their Elders both past and present. We extend that respect to all First Nations peoples across Australia and recognise their collective, unceded sovereignty.

For country,
culture
and community

The Karrkad Kanjdji Trust ("gada-gut guny-jee") brings together Indigenous ranger groups, communities and philanthropists to address some of our nation’s most pressing issues.
These include regenerating our natural environment, taking action on climate change, creating meaningful and equal employment opportunities, and supporting the continuation of the world’s oldest living culture.

Our work
KKT was established by the Traditional Owners of the Warddeken and Djelk Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) in 2010, to support their vision for healthy Country. We now partner with over one third of Arnhem Land's ranger groups. These Indigenous rangers care for around 65,000 square kilometres of land and sea country in one of the most culturally rich and biodiverse regions of Australia: Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory's 'Top End'.

Our
partners

Our role is to listen to the needs and vision of Indigenous communities for how they want to manage their natural and cultural heritage, and support them to realise it on their own terms.

Across six project areas, we have developed a simple yet highly effective model for philanthropy founded on an Indigenous approach to conservation where each part strengthens the whole. Every project is 100 per cent community-owned, from concept to long term impact.
