Project Details
Description
To manage fire according to North Kimberley Fire Abatement Project Traditional
Owners’ Healthy Country priorities and objectives, landscape scale fire management as well as fine scale burning at priority sites is needed. While savanna fire management projects fund operations for wildfire mitigation, there is currently no sustainable funding model to support Traditional Owners to burn priority sites at a very fine scale for biocultural (biological and cultural) outcomes. Our project aims to adapt the Ecological Thresholds method to achieve these objectives and position Indigenous communities to potentially access the emerging global biodiversity market to provide long-term funding.
