Boorubee is the Bandjalang word for Koala. The Minyumai Women-Ranger led Boorubee Monitoring & Recovery Project is supported by WWF-Australia. Boorubee are a culturally significant species to the Bandjalang clan, which traditionally refrained from hunting these animals for food or fur – and a decision was made to ‘look after the Borrubee’.

The Minyumai Ngugum project is a Minyumai IPA partnership with Dingo Culture, Girringun Aboriginal Corporation, Jagun Alliance, Defend the Wild, World Wildlife Fund, University of New South Wales, Taronga Zoo, Byron Shire Council, and Wildbnb Wildlife Habitat.  

Gehrr is the Bandjalang word for Glossy Black-Cockatoos. Minyumai IPA is a key project site for the Glossies Northern Rivers conservation partnership between WWF-Australia, NSW DPE Saving our Species and Wildbnb Wildlife Habitat.

Wijoon is the Bandjalang word for Gliders. Following the 2019/2020 wildlfires which burnt 95% of the IPA, over 120 nest boxes were installed to support the threatened Squirrel Glider and other arboreal marsupials including the threatened Brush-tailed Phascogale and the Yellow-footed Antichinus.  

The Minyumai Rangers have documented over 180 significant trees across the landscape and by 2024 plan to have all large, hollow bearing trees identified. This information assists to better understand the availability of natural hollow habitat for a range of threatened species including Gehrr (Glossy Black-Cockatoo), Wijoon (Gliders) and forest Owls.

The Bandjalang Cultural Calendar was developed by the Minyumai IPA Women Rangers to show how natural indicators mark the changing seasons.
