DUTJAHN - 170 Years On: The Future of WA’s Native Sandalwood

Join us for the first Environment Matters event of 2026: DUTJAHN

WA’s native Dutjahn (sandalwood) stands at a turning point. With the current 10-year wild take quota nearing expiry, the State Government is deciding the next decade of harvest quota levels.  

After 170 years of over-exploitation, will science, nature and First Nations justice guide the decision, or will financial interests prevail?  

Join expert speakers for a timely Environment Matters forum exploring the ecological reality, governance challenges and opportunities for a sustainable, First Nations-led future for sandalwood. 

Be part of this critical conversation at our upcoming Environment Matters forum. 

We're excited to announce our line up of guest speakers!
