Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan
Advancing Reconciliation with First Nations Peoples
At FNPW, we’re committed to fostering reconciliation by building meaningful partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan for 2025-2027 formalises this commitment, guiding our efforts to support cultural recognition, environmental stewardship, and sustainable conservation efforts led by First Nations peoples.
Our Vision for Reconciliation
FNPW recognises that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians of Australia’s lands, waters, and biodiversity. Our vision is to honour First Nations knowledge, cultures, and contributions by embedding respect, recognition, and collaboration into our conservation initiatives. Through our RAP, we aim to:
- Strengthen relationships with First Nations communities
- Enhance cultural understanding within our organisation
- Recognise and integrate the scientific and cultural knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to support their leadership in conservation efforts.
- Support community-led environmental programs
Key Initiatives in our RAP
- Community Partnerships: Working with First Nations communities to grow national parks, save native species, and restore degraded lands.

- Employment & Procurement: Increasing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment, professional development, and business engagement.
