Acknowledgement of Country
The Nature Conservation Council acknowledges that we live and work on Aboriginal land. This land has been cared for since time immemorial by traditional custodians, whose sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of the Country known as New South Wales, past and present. We respect the leadership of Traditional Owners in caring for Country, and support the development of treaties that meaningfully empower them to do so. We acknowledge the dispossession of First Nations people and the harm inflicted on people and Country since colonisation began. We acknowledge that colonisation has been an unjust and brutal process that continues to impact First Nations people today. As people living and working on Aboriginal land it is incumbent on us to play our part in righting the historical and ongoing wrongs of colonisation. Indeed, our vision of a society in which nature and communities thrive together depends upon it. We commit, as an organisation, to empower and work together with First Nations people to protect, conserve and restore the land, waters, air, wildlife, climate and culture of the many First Nations people in NSW.
