Indigenous Cultural and Environmental Capacity-Building in the Kimberley (ICECK)

ICECK will raise Indigenous people's capacity to engage in Natural Resource Management (NRM) through on-ground monitoring for nationally significant species in the northern and central Kimberley, using Cybertracker to record scientific and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). On the job training in biodiversity surveys will allow for bestpractice training outcomes whilst collecting important data for healthy country management and significant species in a National Heritage Listed (NHL) Area. Methodologies will be shared amongst 14 Kimberley Indigenous Ranger Groups strengthening on-ground outcomes. Data will update the population status of significant and data-deficient species to inform management of key threatening processes.
