About the organisation
The Karrkad Kanjdji Trust ("gada-gut guny-jee") brings together Indigenous ranger groups, communities and philanthropists to address some of our nation’s most pressing issues. These include regenerating our natural environment, taking action on climate change, creating meaningful and equal employment opportunities, and supporting the continuation of the world’s oldest living culture.
Our role is to listen to the needs and visions of Indigenous communities for how they want to manage their natural and cultural heritage, and support them to realise it on their own terms. This has naturally led to a simple yet highly effective model for philanthropy founded on an Indigenous approach to conservation where each part strengthens the whole. These six parts are: 1) Protecting native biodiversity, 2) Investing in women rangers, 3) Safeguarding Indigenous culture, 4) Managing fire and climate, 5) Educating future custodians, and 6) Supporting people on Country.
Every project is 100 per cent community-owned, from concept to long-term impact.
