Kimberley conservation threatens to take a step back on Indigenous rights

Abstract

The Western Australian Minister for Environment and Heritage, Albert Jacob, has recently released the draft plan for conservation management in and around the Kimberley’s Horizontal Falls region.

This region takes in the proposed Lalang-garram (Horizontal) Falls and North Lalang-garram marine parks, and Oomeday National Park, and forms part of the much bigger proposed Great Kimberley Marine Park and Wanjina National Park.
