This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating our partner Karrkad Kanjdji Trust (KKT), and their commitment to uplifting Women in Conservation.

KKT is proud to provide core funding for both the Warddeken and Mimal women’s ranger programs, as well as the Strong Women for Healthy Country Network. In Australia, the presence of First Nations women in ranger workforces has proven to be integral to the holistic protection and regeneration of Country and culture.

The UN-Usual Suspects: Meet the Plains-Wanderer! Unlike most bird species, it's the female that displays elaborate plumage and takes the lead in courtship. Males assume the caretaker role, incubating the eggs and raising the chicks.

The UN-Usual Suspects: Meet the Bronzeback Snake-Lizard! These legless reptiles have evolved to lose their limbs over time, and unlike snakes, have eyelids and can blink. Bronzeback Snake-Lizards can be found on Evelyn Downs Station in South Australia, a 4.7 million acre property Bush Heritage Australia is working to purchase and protect. We’re matching gifts for the management of this property now—follow the link in our bio to learn more.
