Declared Indigenous Protected Areas
Australia has 25 declared Indigenous Protected Areas and other Indigenous communities are in the process of developing their land as an IPA.
Each declared Indigenous Protected Area is actively managed by its Indigenous owners, who protect their land's plants, animals and cultural sites. The rangers work to control weeds, feral animals and wildfire, and carefully manage visitor impacts.
Every Indigenous Protected Area makes an important contribution to Australia's nation-wide network of parks and reserves, the National Reserve System.
