The Homeland Heroes Key Forum will profile success stories of remote Indigenous communities living and working on country in Northern Australia.

Jack Green (Senior cultural advisor Garawa and Waanyi-Garawa Rangers, Southwest Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Territory) and Mungurrapin Maymaru (Laynhapuy Indigenous Protected Area Cultural Manager, Northeast Arnhem Land, Northern Territory) will present programs that enable traditional owners to manage their land and sea country, protect their culture, strengthen their communities and conserve precious environmental resources in the nation’s far north. With growing threats to Australia’s natural environment, climate change and increasing disadvantage within Indigenous communities, it is more important than ever to promote successful models of sustaining community and country.

With Seán Kerins (ANU) and Sarah Marland (Amnesty International).
