A message from Joe Morrison, NAILSMA CEO

Dear Supporters.

I would like to thank all those people that have supported NAILSMA over the past year in our endeavors to create better outcomes for people in the bush on a range of very challenging and logistically difficult issues. This year has been an enormous year for NAILSMA. Some of the many achievements include the announcement of support for NAILSMA's Carbon initiative from Virgin Unite, a jointly hosted meeting with the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the UN university for a Climate Change Experts Meeting, an International Indigenous Experts Water Forum, through to the recognition for saltwater people managing stocks of Marine Turtle and Dugongs with NAILSMA winning a Banksia Award - just to name a few highlights.

I would like to extend my appreciation to my board and staff and those people who have supported NAILSMA thus far.

I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable xmas and new year break, and look forward to a challenging, but very rewarding 2009.
