Jeffrey Lee
Appearance
Jeffrey Lee AM (born 1971) member of the Djok clan and the senior custodian of the 12,028 hectare Koongarra region in Australia's Northern Territory which is believed to contain a significant uranium deposit.[1]
The land owned by the clan is surrounded by Kakadu National Park. He has become famous since he doesn't want to sell the high-valued fields to the French energy giant Areva who plans to extract 14,000 tonnes of uranium worth more than $5 billion.
In June 2011, UNESCO decided to make Koongarra a World Heritage Site and the process of incorporating it into the Kakadu National Park began.
