The Indigenous Country and Biodiversity Alliance (ICBA) aims to ground biodiversity management in Indigenous practices and Culture to ensure the best outcomes for Country, our people and the world.
Made up of North Australian Indigenous Land & Sea Management Alliance, Indigenous Desert Alliance, Kimberley Land Council, and the Aboriginal Carbon Foundation, the ICBA aims to change the mainstream paradigm of how biodiversity is managed as the new Nature Repair Market comes into being, and ensure Indigenous people are involved in every step of its development, implementation and accessibility to maximise the biodiversity, cultural and financial core benefits of the market.
ICBA is funded through a significant philanthropic investment aimed at supporting a national partnership with Indigenous organisations to establish Indigenous-led biodiversity methods at pilot sites around Australia, not just the Country covered by ICBA's founding members.
We acknowledge that all of ICBA's members operate on unceded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge the unending care for the environment they have passed on to us over milennia.
