Tyronne Garstone
I am a Bardi man, Born in Broome on Yawuru Country, Western Australia. My country and people are extremely important to me.
My role as an advocate and leader within the community is something that I am both grateful for and passionate about.
I believe Indigenous knowledge and leadership are crucial to address globally acknowledged environmental challenges and I am committed to creating best practise models built through the foundation of free prior and informed consent.
This can be evidenced in projects like the Aboriginal Clean Energy partnership which will be the first 100% green energy, hydrogen, and ammonia export project in Australia to date and the development of the Tropical Savanna Emissions Prediction Tool.
I have spent most of my working life within the indigenous sector in areas such as employment and training, social and economic development, native title, indigenous leadership, and capacity building.
I am committed to supporting and speaking out on issues of importance for indigenous people and for developing frameworks that support and protect both our people and country.
As an example, we continue to work with both the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council, The Western Australian Government, and the broader community on the protection of the National Heritage listed Martuwarra Fitzroy River. Water Catchment and Management is integral to both our communities and environment.
