Description
First nations people and land are integral to biodiversity conservation worldwide, with threatened species projects in Australia increasingly using a two-way collaborative approach between indigenous people and scientists. There is increasing interest in the nature of these relationships and how the scientific community can continue to better prioritise indigenous culture, people and knowledge whilst increasing conservation outcomes. This presentation will discuss the systems of threatened species conservation in Australia and how they are changing to better prioritise indigenous involvement. It will showcase some successful examples of long-term two-way science projects from the Kimberley that support Aboriginal Rangers and their communities to better document and conserve threatened ecosystems and species such as Endangered Night Parrots and Endangered Monsoon Vine Thickets of the Dampier Peninsula.
