Indigenous peoples have managed their land and Country for thousands of years. There are many benefits when Indigenous knowledge systems are valued, and Indigenous peoples lead natural resource management.
We need your support to train the next generation of Indigenous Fire Knowledge Practitioners to prevent wildfires and heal Country.
Mentoring a new generation of Indigenous Fire Practitioners will:
- Build a strong network of professional Cultural Fire Practitioners.
- Strengthen the transfer and sharing of cultural knowledge.
- Ensure land is being managed appropriately to support the prevention of wildfires.
- Provide jobs and partnerships across regional communities and economies
- Showcase Indigenous-led innovation.
- Meet the current demand for Cultural Burning from communities, private landholders, government agencies, local councils and others.
Invest in Indigenous Fire Knowledge
An investment in Indigenous-led solutions will provide opportunities for communities to build a Cultural Fire network that provides employment and research opportunities.
Investing in Indigenous fire practitioners will lead to better outcomes for communities and Country.
Investing in Indigenous-led research will provide communities with the opportunity to utilise their cultural knowledge for modern issues.
Investing in healing Country has both environmental and social benefits.
