Kimberley Nyikina-Mangala Rangers Protecting Wiliji Black-Footed Rock-Wallaby

Sponsored group, Nyikina Mangala Rangers, will undertake this project with the sponsorship of Kimberly Land Council Aboriginal Corporation. This project will engage the Nyikina Mangala Rangers to undertake specific recovery plan actions to identify the extent of black-footed rock-wallabies in two crucial populations. Surveys will inform state and national threatened species databases, the Nyikina Mangala Healthy Country Plan and regional NRM plans. Ranger training will be via a two-way approach formally including traditional ecological knowledge of threatened rock-wallabies and other species in this habitat (e.g. Northern Quoll), alongside science. TEK will be recorded and shared through the community via digital technologies.
