00:00If an opportunity came for you to do ranger work?

00:05Yeah, I'll go for it.

00:07Keep our culture and our land protected.

00:18Country is our giver.

00:20Gives us who we are, a part of one world, a part of country.

00:25There was a time when our mob weren't allowed on country

00:28and we ended up and put on missions.

00:30And it's only the last 30 or 40 years, through hard work of our elders,

00:34that we've been able to get land back to our community.

00:37From a cultural aspect, we understand that whatever happens up in the mountains

00:47ends up down on Gargawaja, down the rivers and waterways.

00:52When I was little, this used to be pure green.

00:55Turtles go up to lay where they used to be getting up high, but they can't anymore

00:59because they're beach erosion, all from climate change.

01:03Yeah, this is fun, but this is also a serious job we're doing at the moment.

01:15Real shit's going on, you know?

01:16The rangers do their part.

01:17We do as much as we can.

01:18We would really like to be able to respond to our large whale disentanglements and care

01:22for, not only country, but care for the land.

01:23The rangers do their part.

01:24We do as much as we can.

01:25We would really like to be able to respond to our large whale disentanglements and care

01:30for not only country, but care for the animals that travel through our country as well.

01:56When I'm out here, it heals me, and my job is to heal country.
