KKT’s role is to connect our partner organisations with the strength of philanthropy, further resourcing their vital efforts to care for Country, culture and community.
Arnhem Land begins 300 kilometres east of Darwin, next to Kakadu National Park. It encompasses 97,000 square kilometres of land and remains one of the largest Aboriginal-owned estates in Australia. It is home to Bininj and Yolŋu peoples; a high number of threatened native animal species; more than 160 plant species found nowhere else; and one of the largest undocumented rock art collections in the world.
The region’s vast, breathtaking landscape is characterised by an elevated stone escarpment bordered by floodplains. These defining features are both referenced in KKT’s name: Karrkad (“gada-gut”) refers to the higher ground and Kanjdji (“guny-jee”) refers to the lowlands. This is the Country that KKT supports partner organisations to manage and protect.
