Desert carbon research to extend the savanna burning methodology

The 10 Deserts Project, to be implemented by DSS, aims to build the capacity of Indigenous groups to look after country for a range of economic, social, cultural and environmental outcomes. It will integrate contemporary natural resource management best-practice with traditional cultural and ecological knowledge and establish systems and approaches that will build environmental resilience across the desert landscape. Underpinning the Project is a focus on long-term financing and market enabling strategies and the potential to develop an active, representative network (potentially, subject to further development and approvals, the Indigenous Desert Alliance) for Indigenous land management groups across the desert.
