Together, we...

Country Needs People in 2016

Country Needs People

... grew from 1000 to 
44 000 supporters like you

and more than 30 Indigenous organisations around the country.

We secured political support for growing and securing Indigenous ranger jobs from:
Labor,
The Greens,
The Nick Xenophon Team,
and Independents.

And gained extra funding from the new NT Government for Indigenous rangers.

We got heaps of media,

met with lots of politicians,

And ran a cheeky ad campaign.

At times, it seemed like Indigenous rangers were the words on everybody's lips.

After thousands of emails, the Coalition Government has said they will extend ranger contracts from 2018 to 2020.

But we need more jobs and long term contracts to meet the environmental need and community demand.

So together, we will keep on raising our voices in 2017.

Because protecting nature and transforming lives is important to us.

Thank you for being part of the movement for more Indigenous rangers and Indigenous Protected Areas for the long term.
