Country, Culture, People, Future

Ngarlawangga

Since early 2022, YMAC has been assisting Ngarlawangga Aboriginal Corporation in their participation on the Pilbara Cultural Land Management Project (PCLMP), a multi-stakeholder partnership connecting 12 groups of Traditional Owners in the Pilbara bioregion. YMAC provides technical expertise and support, with the aim of kick-starting a ranger program on Ngarlawangga Country in the near future.

YMAC is also facilitating the production of a Healthy Country Plan for Ngarlawangga People, through desktop work, field trips and workshops with Traditional Owners. The plan will identify natural and cultural values, as well as threats and concerns, then define strategies and programs that will guide future ranger activities and similar initiatives such as cultural programs.
