North Australia is a significant reservoir for biodiversity and contains some of the least impacted ecosystems found anywhere, but it also faces a range of environmental threats. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples living in north Australia have gained significant legal recognition of their rights to own and manage their traditional lands. Many Indigenous community-based land and sea organizations have emerged that support ranger programmes that actively manage traditional estates. Coupled with recognition of land claims, support for ranger programmes is a practical and culturally effective way to support the rights of Indigenous peoples to manage their traditional lands under international, national, and customary laws. The I-Tracker project, an initiative of the North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance (NAILSMA), empowers Indigenous communities by providing them with the tools and skills to effectively collect and manage environmental data.
