Groundswell Grants

2023

10000

This Groundswell grant supported the Arid Lands Environment Centre to strengthen community-led climate and conservation work across Central Australia. The funding helped support campaigns against fracking in the Beetaloo Basin, protect water and biodiversity, back Traditional Owners and local community groups, and build public pressure for stronger environmental policy ahead of the 2024 NT election. The work connected climate action with the protection of arid lands, water, culture and sustainable regional communities.

Wherever we are in this country, we are on Country.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to the cultures, knowledge and stories they carry. That knowledge comes from tens of thousands of years of living with, caring for and protecting Country. It is why, for us, climate action cannot be separated from Country or from First Nations leadership, and why we are committed to listening, learning and backing First Nations-led climate action.
