"It’s been a great achievement getting Talaroo gazetted as a nature refuge. I’d like to see more assistance for Indigenous organisations and ranger programs - to achieve the conservation and cultural objectives for the Nature Refuge. Nature refuges are important because it’s all about looking after the environment for future generations.”

"Our natural environment supports Queensland’s billion dollar tourism industry. Our protected areas are not only attractive destinations for Queenslanders and visitors to Queensland but they provide jobs and opportunities for our state."

“My family is happy to do whatever it takes to look after our nature refuge but in lean times staying on top of jobs like weeding becomes quite a struggle. We could do a lot more if we were provided with funding and we would probably be more inclined to dedicate more of our property to being a nature refuge.”

"More funding for nature refuge owners will go towards our work to tackle threats like feral animals, invasive weeds and destructive fires. This will encourage private landholders who want to protect natural and cultural values for future generations, and we need to see more of it."
