The Burnett Mary Regional Group is collaborating with the Butchulla Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (BNTAC) to deliver the Healing Korrawinga project aimed at restoring both the ecological and cultural integrity of ten priority islands within the Great Sandy Strait Ramsar Site.
The project will focus on addressing degradation caused by invasive pest and weed species, which threaten critical habitats for endangered and vulnerable shorebirds, migratory birds, wetland birds, and waterbirds, and implementing cultural burning techniques. The collection of cultural heritage is included in the project to support the Butchulla people’s connection to their land.
