Land and water rights

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia identify with Country through a strong cultural connection. That connection brings with it an inherent responsibility to manage and protect Country using knowledge that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

ACT Natural Resource Management (ACT NRM) supports the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to protect Country and its natural resources, such as land, water and biodiversity, through cultural knowledge and practices.
