Friends of the Platypus respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where we work and live. We pay our deepest respects to the Elders, past, present, and emerging, and honor their ongoing connection to Country. We recognize the strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples in caring for the land and waterways for millennia and seek to learn from their wisdom in our efforts to protect and restore the environment. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and commit to walking together towards a sustainable and just future.
