Four of the Djabugay Rangers, Dameon Hunter, Nyuwarri Gilkerson, Levi Newburg, Gavin Donahue (l to r) pose for a portrait on a still-burning portion of Wet tropics woodlands near Kuranda, Australia on July 18, 2023. The Aboriginal rangers chose their portrait here while the flames of a cultural burn continued at their feet, to show that for Djabugay people, fire is a friend when used respectfully and with traditional knowledge.
