ABOUT YOUR ORGANISATION
Country Needs People (CNP) is a medium-sized environment non-profit organisation, making positive impact across Australia and beyond. Founded as a standalone organisation in 2020, we work with Indigenous land and sea management groups around Australia to deliver protection and good management of biodiversity and cultural values on land and sea. Our unique approach contributes to a truly sustainable economy and benefits all Australians.
We are a small team, with an office in Canberra and staff and contractors working in a combination of remote and in-office roles.
We work closely and strategically with Indigenous partners, governments, and other stakeholders to enhance the quantity, quality and security of Indigenous-led natural and cultural values management. We combine:
- strategic, non-partisan advocacy to state and federal governments;
- communications campaigns to build a broad public support base across Australia; and
- collaborative project work and organisational advice and support with and for our Indigenous land and sea management partner organisations.
