To create a sustainable and thriving community where the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Bama people are empowered through comprehensive training and employment opportunities. By expanding the Jabalbina Rangers program and introducing specialist skill sets in integrated agriculture, bush tucker foods, innovative technologies like drone reporting, and cultural tourism and accommodation, we aim to foster cultural heritage, environmental stewardship, and economic resilience.
Objectives

Develop Specialist Skill Sets: Offer training in integrated agriculture, bush tucker food production, drone reporting, and cultural tourism and accommodation to diversify employment opportunities.
Promote Sustainable Practices: Integrate traditional knowledge with modern techniques to promote sustainable land and resource management.
Enhance Community Well-being: Support the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Bama people in achieving economic independence and cultural preservation.
Expand the Jabalbina Tourism Program: Develop and promote cultural tourism initiatives that showcase the unique heritage and natural beauty of the Daintree region.

Where does my money go?
It’s that simple, our partners Jabalbina represent the local Traditional Owners - The Eastern Kuku Yalanji people (Bama), who will be supported back onto Country to Heal Country and Culture. Ensuring that community building occurs through education, training, and economic assistance in the form of jobs and eco-tourism. Last but not least, because we preserve and restore our rainforest
Our Goal
$1 million raised, to see $200,000 allocated to each core pillar, ensures the robustness of the Heal County, Heal Culture program within our Green Economy strategy, guaranteeing its success.
