- The Crisafulli Government is delivering one of the biggest boosts to rangers and environmental management in Queensland's history.
- Recruitment underway to deliver 30 Indigenous Land and Sea Rangers across the state.
- After a decade of decline, the Crisafulli Government is delivering in its first 10 months to preserve Queensland's world-renowned natural environment.
The Crisafulli Government is delivering on its election commitment to protect Queensland's environment with recruitment underway for 30 new Indigenous Land and Sea Rangers across the state.
Queensland's natural environment is one of our greatest assets - home to unique wildlife, ancient rainforests, rugged outback, and pristine coastlines.
Indigenous Land and Sea Rangers blend traditional knowledge with expertise in managing natural and cultural resources.
Rangers monitor the environment and threatened species, manage invasive plants, undertake fire management and engage with the community.
As part of delivering the fresh start to better managing our environment, the bolstering of Queensland's environmental frontline is sorely needed after a decade of decline that saw Labor lock up the state's natural assets and throw away the key – leaving neighbouring communities without any support.
Minister for Tourism and Environment Andrew Powell said the Crisafulli Government was delivering one of the biggest boosts to rangers and environmental management in Queensland's history.
"Queensland's natural environment is one of our greatest assets, and Indigenous Land and Sea Rangers are at the frontline of protecting it," Minister Powell said.
"These positions are being delivered as part of our More Rangers, Better Neighbours commitment to do that will ensure more rangers across the state by the end of this term.
"The Crisafulli Government committed to increasing ranger numbers and is delivering on that promise, unlike Labor who actually left 40 ranger positions unfunded."
