<h3>About Yuku Baja Muliku Landowner &amp; Reserves Ltd and the Yuku Baja Muliku Indigenous Land &amp; Sea Ranger Program</h3>
<p>The Yuku Baja Muliku Rangers are employed by the Yuku Baja Muliku Landowner &amp; Reserves Ltd and funded by the Department&nbsp;of Environment and Science through the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.qld.gov.au/environment/plants-animals/community/about-rangers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qld Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger Program&nbsp;</a>and the National Indigenous Australian&nbsp;Agency.

<p>Our country covers 22,500 hectares and the region is rich in cultural sites which are entwined with fringing coral reefs, beaches, rainforests, woodlands, mangroves, saltpans, and sea grass beds. The rich biodiversity of the region includes turtles, dugongs, bennetts tree kangaroos, and striped possums. Furthermore, the region includes some of the most pristine fringing coral reefs in the tropics and it is the convergence zone between the healthy and stable turtle and dugong populations of Cape York and the declining populations to our south.

<h3>Scope of Position&nbsp;</h3>
<p>The Yuku-Baja-Muliku (YBM) people are the Traditional Custodians of Archer Point, which is located 20km South of Cooktown in Cape York Peninsula. Historically, YBM people lived between Annan River and Archer Point and moved throughout this area with the seasons to hunt and gather foods. After many decades of neglect and land speculation, Yuku-Baja-Muliku have land returned to our people. We believe that it is our responsibility to ensure sustainable and comprehensive management of this significant region, while also allowing our people the opportunity to strive towards economic independence.&nbsp;</p>
<p>To meet these responsibilities, YBM have developed several plans and initiatives over the past 14 years, including an Indigenous Land &amp; Sea Ranger Program, TUMRA, and a Land and Sea Country Strategic Plan. Building on this work, YBM developed this project, Understanding the impacts of erosion control and fire management on water quality in Yuku-Baja-Muliku Country, to address the features that we see as foundational to management of our country: &nbsp;Erosion Control, fire management and water quality management.</p>
<p>Yuku Baja Muliku Landowner &amp; Reserves Ltd is seeking a suitably experienced and skilled person to fill the position&nbsp;Yuku Baja Muliku Biocultural Indicator Assessment Program Monitoring Program- Project&nbsp;Officer, to assist in the management and implementation of the&nbsp;Yuku Baja Muliku Biocultural Indicator Assessment Program Monitoring Program.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
