A WESTERN Australian Department of Agriculture project that increased the profitability and sustainability of the Kimberley Aboriginal pastoral industry has received a note of congratulation from the United Nations.
The project, created by project officer Kim Carter, helped a Kimberley Aboriginal community to improve standards of animal husbandry, herd productivity and level of number, value and quality that complies with statutory and regulatory requirements.
It also brought pride and self-sufficiency to the community.
Mr Carter won a StateWest Achievement Award for his efforts last year and he has been shortlisted for a Churchill Fellowship to study similar programs overseas.
