Goals of Indigenous Protected Areas

The goals of the Indigenous Protected Areas element of the Caring for our Country initiative are to:

1. Support Indigenous land owners to develop, declare and manage IPAs on their lands as part of Australia's National Reserve System.
2. Support Indigenous interests to develop cooperative management arrangements with Government agencies managing protected areas
3. Support the integration of Indigenous ecological and cultural knowledge with contemporary protected area management practices.
