Co-design in fire management

As we have come to learn season upon season, managing fire is a place where Western approaches and traditional Aboriginal fire knowledge can co-exist. In this resource students will combine technologies to map ways to effectively manage fire.

Living off our waters

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People have developed resource utilisation and management regimes for marine, riparian, and estuarine habitats to ensure the sustainability of these resources. These practices incorporated cultural, ritual and social rules governing use and harvesting to ensure the sustainability of these resources as a major component of their traditional ecological knowledge systems. 

Fire and land management: past and present

Learn about the difference between ‘cool’ and ‘hot’ fires, one good, one potentially dangerous, and start to see how this distinction might be useful in environmental stewardship. Students will explore food webs and seasonal calendars to better understand their own worlds and the elements that shape it.

Groundwater

Groundwater, a vital resource beneath the land surface, is essential in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. It supports ecosystems, food, and tradition. These tales guide sustainable management, preserving well-being for people and the environment.
