A delegation from Mimal Land Management is meeting with Federal politicians in Canberra to back a push to boost support for Indigenous Protected Areas (IPA) in Australia and to submit its own plan for a proposed IPA in south-central Arnhem Land.

Traditional owners in central Arnhem Land are calling for illegal visitors and poachers to be investigated and prosecuted, following an increase in brazen hunting and theft of stock and entry of sacred sites.

It’s been described as a chance to recognise the year’s achievements in natural resource management, and this year’s Northern Territory Natural Resource Management Conference gave Mimal many reasons to celebrate.

It’s been described as a message stick that carries the story of women working for healthy country across the Northern Territory. ‘Gundung’ is a work of five panels that depicts the elements of life - night, earth, water, fire and sun - and represents the driving forces for women who work in land and sea management.

An area similar to the size of Fiji that lies in the heart of Arnhem Land is a step closer to becoming part of Australia’s national parks and reserves as an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA).

Women rangers from across the Northern Territory are gathering in Arnhem Land this week to form the first-ever network of women working in land and sea management.

The sandstone rock country in central Arnhem Land is home to a precious art heritage reflecting tens of thousands of years of cultural continuity.

Mimal Land Management is turning to cutting-edge technology to keep its ancient stories and cultural information safe and accessible for future generations.

As major fire management consultation meetings with our neighbours and landowners wrap up and the cool, dry winds start to blow, Mimal rangers are preparing for a busy fire season ahead.

A Mimal Women Rangers’ plant project is helping to grow knowledge of bush food and medicine.

Gamba grass is a highly invasive, damaging weed that’s killing country. First introduced to the Northern Territory in the 1930s as feed for cattle, the characteristics that make it a perfect crop for growing in the Top End also make it an aggressive weed.

Held to bring elders and children together to share cultural knowledge and skills, culture camps are a highlight on the annual community calendar.

Mimal Land Management says the Northern Territory Government needs to change how motor vehicle services such as registration inspections and licensing are delivered in remote communities.

Weemol spring has become a living symbol of the many benefits that come from removing feral animals from country.

At the start of June 2018 early dry season burning is well advanced throughout the Mimal Land Management Area.
