Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance

The Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance is a partnership that has been established to support the voluntary contributions of organisations, landholders and communities to improve and protect the biodiversity of our landscape from the Dorrigo Plateau through the Bellinger Valley & seaboard to the Coffs Coast. The founding partners of the Alliance include many local community and Aboriginal groups, individuals, government and non - government agencies, public authority, business and education institutions who have an active interest in the health of the environment. The Alliance values Aboriginal cultural attachment to our landscapes & has embraced the Gumbaynggirr word for tree “Jaliigirr” to best describe our partnership. By creating this Alliance, all our partners & their communities have the opportunity to work together at a landscape scale. This can better manage threats to our biodiversity, it can build & grow our abilities & our businesses, and it will strengthen our communications. Our work will also contribute to the bigger national picture - the Great Eastern Ranges corridor.
