The global mining giant Rio Tinto will invest A$8 million over five years in collaboration with Western Australia’s Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) to launch a new project aimed at enhancing conservation land management and supporting Traditional Owner ranger programs in Karijini and Millstream Chichester National Parks.

The Pilbara Conservation Project aims to protect areas of high conservation value while incorporating the Traditional Owners' knowledge into land management practices. This project will address weed management, feral animal control, and bushfire management at Karijini, Millstream Chichester, and other significant conservation sites in the Pilbara by implementing the Pilbara Conservation Strategy.

Moreover, the project is a beacon of hope, providing much-needed support for ranger training and creating fee-for-service opportunities for Aboriginal Ranger Groups. This empowers them and paves the way for a brighter and more sustainable future.
