2012: Historic Yulmbu Partnership

Establishing Tableland Wildlife Sanctuary

Yulmbu Aboriginal Corporation and AWC entered into a historic agreement, supported by the Western Australian Government.

This agreement saw Tableland Pastoral Station subleased by AWC for conservation. This was the first time in Australia that an Indigenous community sub-leased land to a non-government organisation for conservation.

Tableland abuts Mornington-Marion Downs and together these sanctuaries protect threatened wildlife and habitat across a vast 872,000 hectares of the central Kimberley.
