Rio Tinto will invest A$8 million over five years in a
partnership with Western Australia’s Department of Biodiversity,
Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) on a new project to enhance
conservation land management and support Traditional Owner ranger
programs in Karijini and Millstream Chichester National Parks.
The Pilbara Conservation Project will protect areas of high
conservation value and integrate Traditional Owners’ knowledge of
the land into conservation land management. This includes weed
management, feral animal control and bushfire management at
Karijini, Millstream Chichester and other high conservation value
Pilbara sites, through implementation of the Pilbara Conservation
Strategy.
The project will also support ranger training and fee for
service work for Aboriginal Ranger Groups.
Rio Tinto, DBCA and Traditional Owners have been partnering to
protect the Karijini and Millstream Chichester National Parks since
2015.
The new project adds to a range of partnerships Rio Tinto has
with Traditional Owners to support Aboriginal Ranger Programs in
the Pilbara, including the Pilbara Ranger Network and partnerships
with Aboriginal Corporations to deliver various ranger
programs.
Rio Tinto Vice President, Health, Safety, Environment &
Communities, Cecile Thaxter said, “This project will enable DBCA
and Traditional Owners to continue caring for Country and
importantly put Traditional Owner knowledge at the heart of
conservation management for this environmentally, culturally and
economically significant region.
“Maintaining Pilbara biodiversity is critical not only for our
business today but also for future generations within the region,
and we recognise our responsibility to understand and effectively
mitigate our impacts on nature through collaborative
partnerships.
“Partnerships like the Pilbara Conservation Project are crucial
to delivering nature-positive outcomes, with collaboration,
resource sharing, innovation, local engagement and collective
effort needed to address the complex challenges with environmental
conservation and restoration.”
Western Australian Environment Minister Reece Whitby MLA said,
“Conservation is a shared responsibility, and this new partnership
demonstrates how Government, industry and Traditional Owners can
work together to manage biodiversity values through practical
on-ground actions.
“The Pilbara is a special place – its habitat is home to some
species of animals and plants you can’t find anywhere else in the
world.
“Karijini National Park is the Pilbara’s key tourist attraction,
with over 300,000 visitors annually. This project will do wonders
for its conservation into the future.”
