Fifteen Traditional Owner organisations from across Queensland will share in 46 new Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger positions being funded by the State Government.
The Bunya Peoples Aboriginal Corporation, on behalf of the Budjiburra and Wakka Wakka people, have received four placements.
Environment Minister Leanne Linard announced the allocation of the new positions on Thursday.
Indigenous rangers combine traditional knowledge with new technologies to protect and conserve country, based on Traditional Owner and community priorities.
The rangers undertake fire management, biodiversity surveys, feral animal control, weed treatment and cultural site management.
