Nicolas travelled to Darwin to film this work, documenting the Larrakia Land and Sea Rangers on their saltwater Country around Darwin Harbour. The finished video draws on footage captured on location alongside additional material provided for the edit, and the photographs shown here are stills taken from it.
The far eastern curlew is a Critically Endangered migratory shorebird, travelling each year from breeding grounds in the northern hemisphere to spend the southern summer on the intertidal flats of Australia. Working with researchers from Charles Darwin University, and with Darwin Port as a project partner, the Rangers have helped track the birds and identify the saltpans, mangroves and roosting sites that matter most, so those places can be protected.
