justice for land and people in the Barmah forest

by CamWalker last modified 2006-12-17 20:30

Yorta Yorta land extends from near Echuca to just west of Albury-Wodonga along Dhungalla (the Murray River). Prior to the European invasion, their sustainable land management practices facilitated the flourishing of diverse ecosystems. Included in this land are the Barmah and Millewa state forests (one forest separated by the state border).

As well as its cultural significance to the Yorta Yorta, this forest is of significant value for its wealth of biodiversity. The FoE Melbourne Barmah - Millewa collective is working with the Yorta Yorta Nation to achieve a Barmah - Millewa jointly managed conservation reserve. The Barmah-Millewa Campaign is about gaining Justice for Land and People.
