Warddeken
Bush Heritage and WWF jointly supported Warddeken Traditional
Owners to prepare their Indigenous Protected Area Action Plan and
BHA continues to provide support for Warddeken Land Management Ltd
to work towards achieving their goal of establishing an IPA over
Warddeken country. Part of this project involves looking into ways
of encouraging and securing philanthropic support for Warddeken
conservation related activities.
Kaanju
BHA and the Chuulangun Aboriginal Corporation formed a
partnership in 2005 after an approach from a Kaanju Traditional
Owner requesting assistance for him and his people in continuing to
implement the IPA management plan. BHA provides support for a
coordination position with Chuulangun who provides project
management as well as working on the ground with other Traditional
Owners undertaking priority land management activities. Stage one
of the Kaanju Homelands Indigenous Protected Area was declared in
2008. www.kaanjungaachi.com.au

Wunambal Gaambera
In the Kimberley Bush Heritage and the Wunambal Gaambera
Aboriginal Corporation have recently entered into the first stage
of what is expected to be a long term partnership. The Wunambal
Gaambera Healthy Country project aims to identify key conservation
values and implement agreed appropriate actions on Wunambal
Gaambera country in the North Kimberley. Through this partnership
the crossover areas where aspirations of the traditional owners to
look after and actively manage their country meet with BHA
aspirations of having country managed for conservation will be
identified and supported.
