Our work

KKT was created by Traditional Owners and innovative leaders representing Aboriginal community-controlled organisations from across Arnhem Land. 

As the initiative has grown, the founding partners have invited Aboriginal community-controlled organisations across the region to join. They collectively govern KKT by nominating members to the KKT board, as well as other experts who walk beside them. 

The scope of KKT’s partners’ work is more holistic than most Western understandings of conservation. Equal to the protection of the region’s precious biodiversity levels, their management of Country also involves the practice of culture and ceremony; the critical intergenerational transfer of Indigenous knowledge; and actually supporting people to return to and thrive on their homelands. This has naturally informed KKT’s funding model which consists of six key pillars.

Importantly, every single project or program is community-owned and led, from concept to implementation. This is the foundation for the vision KKT shares with our partners: for First Nations peoples to be safeguarding vital ecosystems and cultures, and self-determining the future of both Country and community.
