The Anindilyakwa Ranger group was created in 2002. Today, male and female rangers from Umbakumba and Angurugu communities work together to manage both the land and sea within the Anindilyakwa Indigenous Protected Area (IPA). The Anindilyakwa IPA has significant conservation values and there are many sacred places, songlines and plants and animals that are important to Anindilyakwa people. The rang

ers undertake many activities to look after these values for future generations. Some of these activities include: removing ghost nets and marine debris from beaches, collaborating with researchers to learn more about country, undertaking w**d management, making sure cane toads don’t get to Groote Eylandt, undertaking marine patrols and managing visitor access to Recreation Areas. Rangers also support traditional owners to pass on cultural knowledge to young people during cultural trips and Learning on Country activities.

Farewell Ranger Manager Kirsten Eden.

6.5 years of dedication, leadership, passion and commitment to the Rangers and what an incredible impact you’ve made.

The youngest manager, you’ve led with strength, heart and a genuine passion for protecting Country. An environmentalist at heart, culturally driven and completely dedicated to the Ranger program and the people within it.

When you started, there were just two women working in the program. Today, we’re proudly 50/50 — a huge reflection of the pathways you’ve helped create and the opportunities you’ve championed along the way. 💪🏽💙

Thank you for your unwavering dedication, for believing in the program, for pushing boundaries and for inspiring those around you to care for Country, culture and community.

We’re so grateful for everything you’ve given to the Rangers over the past 6.5 years. Your impact will be felt for many years to come.

Thank you for being such an incredible leader and champion for women in the Rangers.
