Rangers and Traditional Owners conduct strategic early-season burning using cool fires, creating fire scars that prevent devastating late-season wildfires.
Project Area
The project is conducted on the Ngarinyin traditional country in the North Kimberley, a region rich in cultural and ecological significance.

Dambimangari Fire Management Project
Operating across Dambimangari traditional lands, this project protects coastal and inland savanna landscapes through strategic early-season burning. The project combines helicopter operations with ground-based burning to manage one of Australia's most biodiverse regions.
Project Area
Dambimangari Country in the Kimberley region, covering approximately 805,799 hectares of savanna landscapes including the Dambimangari Indigenous Protected Area and surrounding native title lands.
Project Owner
Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation (Traditional Owners of Dambimangari Country), working within the broader North Kimberley Fire Abatement Project.
Day-to-day Management
Managed by the Dambimangari Rangers and staff of the Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation, often in partnership with organizations such as Australian Wildlife Conservancy and other regional partners.
Methodology
Savanna Fire Management under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative – Emissions Abatement through Savanna Fire Management) Methodology Determination 2015. The project uses strategic early dry-season burning to reduce the risk and emissions of late dry-season wildfires.
