The Cook Labor Government is supporting enhanced biodiversity monitoring and outcomes through fire practices in the Kimberley through a $3.1 million Lotterywest grant for a three-year project led by North Kimberley Fire Abatement Project (NKFAP) and WWF-Australia.
For more than 20 years, WWF-Australia has collaborated with Traditional Owner groups and ranger teams to help safeguard threatened species and enhance biodiversity.
Lotterywest's support will help North Kimberley Traditional Owner groups and WWF-Australia to develop a groundbreaking approach to assessing fire impacts on biodiversity which will adapt management techniques for the North Kimberley's unique species and habitats.
