Why this project is important
|
Quandamooka Country is a place that holds important and unique biodiversity value and incredible cultural significance. It is regarded as a sanctuary that has been cared for by its owners and custodians, the Quandamooka People, for many thousands of generations. It is paramount to preserve its internationally significant biodiversity and to ensure its management is led by Traditional Owners. Healthy Land & Water shares a close bond with the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC), which was formed in 2011 under the Native Title Act to represent the interests of the Quandamooka people. Healthy Land & Water is proud of its collaboration with QYAC and has been privileged to assist and work with the Quandamooka People on a variety of important projects and programs. |
