Indigenous-led action by Bundjalung knowledge-holders for collaborative management of Country

"Globally, many Indigenous people want to help protect their traditional lands and waters, drawing on knowledge stretching back millenia. Indigenous people have an obligation to look after species and habitats that are culturally important to them."

"Indigenous Australians are ready to sit at decision-making tables to improve the management of Country. They intimately understand our precious environment – and their contribution could be transformative."

#Forests are an #essential part of #ClimateChange #solutions & their effective #conservation requires #empowerment of #IndigenousPeoples & #LocalCommunities or IPLCs. Around the world, #IPLCs #stewarded forests for generations. Due to growing #EconomicPressures to cut forests - current #incentives designed to keep forests standing are #inaccessible to communities living in areas of high forest, low deforestation regions, or #HFLD
