Indigenous Fire and Invasives in the North Kimberley (IFINK)

IFINK will enhance and protect 40,000 km2 of intact native vegetation in the North Kimberley, an area of exceptional biodiversity. 87% of the IFINK area is declared or imminent Indigenous Protected Areas. IFINK will establish a regionally coordinated and implemented approach to fire, invasive species and biodiversity management, building ecosystem resilience to climate change. In three years IFINK will develop the operational capacity of the Balanggarra, Dambimangari, Wunambal Gaambera and Willingin Native Title Groups (NTG) to register savanna burning projects eligible under the CFI. Commercialisation under the CFI will ensure the North Kimberley remains a nationally significant conservation corridor with long-term funding for management.
