“We, the Bardi Jawi Rangers are formed from the coastal tribe groups, Bardi (land) & Jawi (island) which consists of six clan groups. Our culture and tradition is based on the land & sea management of caring for country and maintaining our land and sea. Local knowledge about the land and sea has been passed down from our ancestors. We are saltwater people and in our law the ocean is our provider on seasonal and traditional methods. In return we look after it by protecting, preserving and maintaining all its biodiversity and species in our country. We have been a team for more than three years and work closely with our old people and steering committee.”
