This video explores the ongoing work of the Darling Baaka River Health Program, a collaborative effort led by the NSW Environment Protection Authority and DCCEEW in partnership with the Barkandji Rangers.

Hear from Senior Ranger Max Quayle, Dr Kathryn Korbel, and Grace Bell as they explain how the program monitors river health across 35 sites using water quality testing, biological indicators, and cutting-edge tools like Smart-buoys.

Learn how building local capacity, especially through training Barkandji Rangers, is key to protecting the lifeblood of the region, because, as Max says, "You can't buy what you get from this river."
