Traditional owners are supporting and collaborating in cross-border management in all directions (north, east, south and west). The smaller circles show Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, the different homelands, communities and outstations where everybody is working together looking after the country. The different coloured patches represent the land and the work done together, namely: • deep red – patch burning / controlled burning • reds, pinks, purples – teaching the young kids about bush food • blues – looking after kapi, cleaning waterholes, rock holes protecting the water resources from pest animals • yellows and greens – the plants and grasses through the seasons Ngura Nganampa Kunpu Kanyinma Keep on Looking After Our Country Strongly Katiti-Petermann Indigenous Protected Area Plan of Management 2015 This initiative is funded by the Australian Government CONTENTS National Library of Australia Cataloguing-in-Publication entry Central Land Council (Australia) Ngura nganampa kunpu kanyinma = Keep on looking after our country strongly : Katiti-Petermann Indigenous Protected Area Plan of Management 2015 / Central Land Council.
