Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa (KJ) is a Martu-led not-for-profit in Western Australia's Western Desert: created by Martu and led by Martu. It supports Martu to look after culture and Country, build a viable economy in Martu communities, and create pathways for young Martu to a healthy future.
KJ began in 2005 and became a company in 2009. Martu rangers carry out conservation work and right-way cultural fire management across Martu Country, including the Canning Stock Route. KJ also runs Return to Country trips, a Martu Women's Leadership Program and a Families Program for cultural knowledge and language. In 2024-25 it employed 561 Martu, half of them women.
