Living and working on country is like medicine for my people. Being a ranger is meaningful work that makes us feel good about ourselves. It is vital that our young people know their country and care for it. Ranger jobs are giving us hope for the future.

When a school child looks around their community and sees proud, strong adults working as Indigenous Rangers that's incredibly valuable to their education and motivation.

The primary objectives of the ranger program are environmental and biodiversity outcomes, but they've developed it to a whole lot more. We are not just creating jobs, we are building people.
Nolan Hunter, CEO, Kimberley Land Council
The young ones are looking at the ranger program, they're saying yeah, I want to be there, I want to be like that, when I grow up I want to be a ranger and look after my country.
Dean Yibarbuk, Senior Ranger, Warddeken Land Management
It's all about the country and opportunities of work for our young people.
