Indigenous Knowledge for Climate Resilience: A Landholder’s Perspective
Wakka Wakka Country
Jill Sampson, artist and landholder on Wakka Wakka Country, shares her perspectives during a Cultural Burn on her family farm. Jill was inspired by Victor Steffensen's 'Fire Country' to collaborate with Indigenous Fire Practitioners in regenerating the landscape.
This burn kicks of a collaborative new project 'Indigenous Knowledge for Climate Resilience' – set to revitalise Queensland's agricultural landscapes through Cultural Fire. Supported by the Australian Government's Climate-Smart Agriculture Program, this project champions First Nations knowledge to enhance the health of Country, creating a healthier future for everyone. We're seeing how Cultural Burning can be integrated into modern grazing practices, improving profitability and sustainability for farmers and landholders like Jill.
