Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia: Indigenous rights, aspirations, and cultural responsibilities

This book sets out a vision for developing North Australia based on a culturally appropriate and ecologically sustainable land sector economy, supporting both Indigenous responsibilities and community aspirations, as well as enhancing enterprise opportunities for society as a whole.

Key Features:

Provides clear and authoritative recommendations for managing fire in ecological and social contexts

Authors are all international leaders in their fields and include not only academics but also leaders of Indigenous communities

Explains Indigenous cultural and knowledge systems to a degree that has rarely been accessible to lay and academic readers outside specialized disciplines like Anthropology

Responds to growing need for new approaches to managing human-ecological systems that are in greater sympathy with Australia’s natural environments/climate, and value the knowledge of Indigenous people

Timely for scholarly and interest groups intervention, as the Australian government is again looking to ‘develop the north'

Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia sets out a vision for developing North Australia based on a culturally appropriate and ecologically sustainable land sector economy. This vision supports both Indigenous cultural responsibilities and aspirations, as well as enhancing enterprise opportunities for society as a whole. In the past, well-meaning if often misguided policy agendas have failed - and continue to fail - North Australians. This book helps breach that gap by acknowledging and harnessing Indigenous cultural strengths and knowledge systems for looking after the country and its people, as part of a smart, novel and diversified ecosystem services economy.
