The NT Government broke a promise for $12m over four years for NT Aboriginal Ranger Grants. Funding for key equipment like vehicles, boats, worksheds, project funding, quad bikes, chainsaws. Ask the govt to restore the funding here.

Tune in at 8:30 pm tonight on NITV with @karlagrant28 to see our doco on Indigenous Protected Areas and the many benefits they bring for nature , culture and people.

When government's make clear promises they need to keep them. @LiaFinocchiaro MLA and Bill Yan MLA, you gave your word you would fund NT Aboriginal Ranger Grants for the next four years. Please stick to your word and restore the $12m to the budget you promised. #NTBudget #NTPOL

Happy to help. Hope it went well.

You bet! Indigenous Rangers are a key part of the fabric of Queensland & particularly North Qld. Managing fire, protecting biodiversity, caring for cultural sites & values, responding to extreme weather and supporting communities. You can back ‘em in here https://t.co/TTDPAfbB0L

Love to see it when scientists and Traditional Owner run Indigenous Ranger groups via Indigenous Protected Areas develop strong mutually collaborative working relationships. Everyone benefits. Well done Ngururrpa mob , Rachel P @NESPLandscapes @IDA_Australia #TwoToolboxApproach

Live in Queensland? There’s a unique model of Qld govt practical, support and backing for Indigenous rangers hosted by Indigenous led organisations. Join us in telling all pollies to secure & strengthen it into the future. You know it makes sense😎

We’re here at the #2024LandWaterManagementForum Great to catch up with a lot of old mates , new mates and countrymen and women.

3/ …NSW , SA and Vic, with much bigger budgets, have no dedicated ongoing funding program ‘at all’ for community based rangers or their work at this point. If you’d like to help change that over time sign up here & we’ll keep you posted.

2/ The Aboriginal Ranger Grants program we advocated to create in 2016 is important to continue. It’s $12m of useful funding for Ranger Groups Territory wide. Making a contribution to jobs in the bush and tackling environmental problems. Think that’s modest? Well…get this ..

We worked hard with our partners and supporters in the Northern Territory to get ALL pollies and parties to commit to backing the work of Indigenous Rangers. We’ll be watching closely to make sure promises are kept. This is where we got to.. #ntpol https://t.co/7ehnsi9rm3 1/

ALL parties & candidates in the NT need to step up with specific $$ support for the NT Aboriginal Ranger Grants program for the next 4 yrs. On Monday Labor stated it's position. Time for others to commit. NT resident? Sign petition & share. #auspol

Today @CountryNeedsPpl welcomed the statement by @SelenaUibo & @TerritoryLabor backing Indigenous Rangers in the NT by extending the practical and highly valued Aboriginal Ranger Grants Program by 4 years. Time for other candidates and parties to step up. https://t.co/6yafg7laeP

Huge shout out to Yvonne Margarula, the Mirrar clan , Gundjeihmi Corp and all those who worked with them to get to this stage. ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏼✊🏾

Do you live in the NT? If you do then sign this petition at the link below to back in Territory Indigenous Rangers by backing an extension of the Territory Aboriginal Ranger Grants program for another four years. You know it makes sense! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏼✊🏼 https://t.co/xeO9dWZ62h
