Karrkad Kanjdji Trust
The Karrkad Kanjdji Trust (KKT) was founded by First Nations ranger groups in West and Central Arnhem Land to increase philanthropic support for the natural and cultural heritage of this very remote region. With support from Groundswell, KKT's founding partner organisation, Warddeken Land Management, advanced their Kuwarddebim Project – a groundbreaking initiative that is protecting one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of undocumented rock art.
This grant supported Karrkad Kanjdji Trust and Warddeken Land Management to protect significant rock art sites across West Arnhem Land. Guided by Traditional Owners and Elders, rangers surveyed clan estates, documented previously unrecorded sites and carried out conservation work including fencing, weed removal and cultural burning. The project also created on-Country employment and training, supported Bininj rangers to step into leadership roles, and strengthened the intergenerational transfer of cultural knowledge tied to these important sites.
