Aboriginal rangers

Aboriginal rangers are Indigenous Australians who manage and protect their traditional lands, waters, and cultural heritage. They combine traditional knowledge with modern conservation practices to preserve biodiversity, control invasive species, monitor environmental health, and sustain cultural sites. Working for government agencies or community organizations, they play a vital role in land stewardship, promoting sustainable use of natural resources, and strengthening cultural connections to Country. Their work supports environmental conservation while honoring Indigenous traditions and rights, fostering collaboration between communities and wider society for the benefit of ecosystems and cultural heritage.
