Description
In this talk we will discuss a research collaboration between Michelle and the Bardi Jawi, Bardi Jawi Oorany and Nyul Nyul Rangers, and their communities, to investigate traditional freshwater places*. We investigated culturally-specific ways of conceptualising (thinking about) and managing traditional freshwater places. We will discuss the research process highlighting our partnership approach and benefits for Traditional Owners, along with some of the research findings. Research findings demonstrate how these groups enact locally-specific models of understanding and managing wetlands in ways that not only provide for cultural responsibilities and opportunities, but also potentially offer important conservation outcomes.
