Exciting new research has shown Aboriginal knowledge to be critical to understanding the phenomenon of these circles.

Over 26 people have come together for this year’s annual Threatened Species Workshop to share information on the endangered Mulyamiji (Great Desert Skink).

UNESCO choses KJ’s Waru (Fire) Program to include in their Green Citizens projects — the only one in Australia this year (so far)!

Experts from the University of Queensland have been assisting the search and, to the rangers’ delight, the hard work has finally paid off!

Australian scientists and indigenous rangers have devised a new method to incorporate indigenous knowledge ­­about a threatened desert marsupial — the greater bilby — into predictive species distribution models.
