Following their 2024 win for First Nations Landcare Collaboration in the WA Landcare awards, the Dampier Peninsula Fire Working Group (DPFWG) has also been recognised at the national Landcare awards for the enduring cultural, ecological, and economic benefits achieved through their stewardship of Country over the last decade.
Established in 2016, the Indigenous-led DPFWG is managed and coordinated by Rangelands NRM. The community-focused project unites First Nations communities, pastoralists, landowners, local councils, governmental bodies, NGOs, and researchers to combat destructive wildfires on the Dampier Peninsula through implementation of a shared burn plan.
