Founding partner of KKT, Bawinanga Rangers work with over 100 different clan groups

Bawinanga Rangers

The Bawinanga Rangers is a pioneering Indigenous land management program. Formed by Traditional Owners of the Djelk Indigenous Protected Area, this strategic, community-owned initiative has been operating for more than 20 years to mitigate growing environmental concerns. The Bawinanga Rangers keep Country healthy by tackling the threats of changing fire regimes, the decline of native animal species and the spread of invasive weeds and feral animals.

They manage 200 kilometres of coastline and over 6,700 square kilometres of land and sea country in West and Central Arnhem Land—from estuaries, wetlands and rivers, to monsoonal rainforests and tropical savannas. Bawinanga Rangers, alongside Warddeken Land Management Limited, founded KKT to help make their vision for healthy Country and culture a reality.

Their work plays a vital role in keeping the cultures and languages in their region strong. They also exist to provide employment and career pathways and to support sustainable enterprise development opportunites on Country. They work with many partners for the benefit of all 13 language groups and over 100 different clan groups.
