The Organisation
Our country is a living landscape – our culture, heritage, laws and language are linked to the land.
The Mimal Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) covers 17,188 km of south-central Arnhem Land. Our IPA is Aboriginal land, part of the Arnhem Land Aboriginal Land Trust area; and area held as Inalienable Freehold under the provisions of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976.
It was developed through in-depth consultation with more than 36 clan groups who collaborated with Indigenous rangers, researchers and scientists to map and prioritise Mimal’s environmental and cultural assets, identify threats and outline ways to manage them.
The area’s natural and cultural assets are managed by Mimal Rangers on behalf of and in cooperation with landowners and custodians.
Under an established Healthy Country Plan, the rangers manage land, water and fire, and conduct wildlife protection, monitoring and revegetation programs, weed and feral animal control, and carry out rock art, cultural history and language projects and learning on country education programs with school children.
