The Indigenous Desert Alliance is building the largest Indigenous-led connected conservation network on Earth - to keep Australia’s outback healthy for the benefit of future generations. ? Take a look at the IDA conference video for a glimpse of this incredible network caring for country.
The IDA Conference is the largest gathering of Indigenous rangers in Australia with 423 delegates from 54 ranger groups making the journey to the red centre. The conference theme was “A decade of connection”, to celebrate 10 years of connecting, learning and working together as an alliance and network. A big focus of the conference was strengthening the alliance, yarning about matters of regional importance, sharing information and most importantly, connecting with each other. “It was such a powerful thing to come together, all working for the same values. Caring for Country, continuing with Culture and supporting Community." Boyd Elston, IDA Chair The IDA would like thank the sponsors of the 2024 IDA Conference – BHP, The Nature Conservancy, Westpac, Ulu?u-Kata Tju?a National Park, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, and the BHP Foundation. ??
