Description

Re-emergence of First Nations burning in contemporary grassy woodlands. This project aims to inform the re-emergence of First Nations burning in contemporary endangered woodlands in south-eastern Australia by: (a) implementing a First Nations led burning program, and in conjunction, (b) monitoring the relative ecological responses, including those that influence fire-risk. The expected outcomes include new evidence to guide contemporary First Nations burning programs implemented by our project partners and others. The project will establish an interface between First Nations knowledge and western science to achieve long-lasting multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural outcomes. These include ecological and fire risk-mitigatory benefits and important cultural, social and economic benefits for First Nations peoples.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4104 - Environmental Management. Lead: Prof David Lindenmayer
