Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board

Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board We work with Traditional Owners and communities to manage natural resources in north-western SA.

The all-Aboriginal Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board is comprised of respected leaders from across the region. The Board has broad representation of the major stakeholders of the region including but not exclusive to Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara, Maralinga Tjarutja, Yalata and Far West Aboriginal Corporation. The Alinytjara Wilurara (AW) region covers 26% of South Australia in the remot

e north-west of the state. The boundary of the AW Landscape region extends from the Northern Territory to the Southern Ocean and from the Western Australian border almost to Coober Pedy. Although it is one of the hottest and most remote areas of South Australia it is also rich and diverse in its flora, fauna and cultural heritage. The board proudly partners with Aboriginal groups and individuals in landscape management and in doing so underpins broader social outcomes including health, education and financial wellbeing.

The blood and gruesome injuries were fake, but the learning was very real as AW staff got together with Far West Coast Rangers, and National Parks and Wildlife Service South Australia staff for a two-day remote area first aid course hosted by the Far West Coast Aboriginal Corporation.
A highlight of the training was the use of semi-realistic role-playing scenarios that challenged participants to apply their skills under pressure, which can be vital when working across some of Australia's most isolated landscapes.

The serious and highly contagious H5 strain of bird flu that has spread quickly across the world has now been confirmed in Australia. It is in Western Australia now and may be in our region soon. It’s important to stay informed and prepared.
Here’s what you should know:
1. What is H5 bird flu?
H5 bird flu is a viral disease that primarily affects birds but can sometimes infect other animals. The likelihood of humans becoming infected is low.
2. How has it spread to other countries?
H5 bird flu can spread through the movement of migratory birds.
3. How can you help?
If you keep pet birds or backyard chickens here’s some simple steps you can take to help:
• Keep wild birds away from your birds by using netting or housing.
• Keep bird feed and water out of reach from wild birds.
• Keep aviaries and equipment clean.
Or if you find multiple dead birds or other animals, do not touch them. Instead, take photos or a video, record your location and report it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

Botanist Andrew Schubert captured these images from the same spot in the APY Lands, conducting groundcover surveys for the past ten years. The photos show a dramatic transformation as buffel grass completely took over. This story is playing out across the desert – it’s deeply concerning for the future.
