Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia: Indigenous rights, aspirations, and cultural responsibilities

English

Key Features:

  • Provides clear and authoritative recommendations for managing fire in ecological and social contexts
  • Authors are all international leaders in their fields and include not only academics but also leaders of Indigenous communities
  • Explains Indigenous cultural and knowledge systems to a degree that has rarely been accessible to lay and academic readers outside specialized disciplines like Anthropology
  • Responds to growing need for new approaches to managing human-ecological systems that are in greater sympathy with Australias natural environments/climate, and value the knowledge of Indigenous people
  • Timely for scholarly and interest groups intervention, as the Australian government is again looking to develop the north'
  • Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia sets out a vision for developing North Australia based on a culturally appropriate and ecologically sustainable land sector economy. This vision supports both Indigenous cultural responsibilities and aspirations, as well as enhancing enterprise opportunities for society as a whole. In the past, well-meaning if often misguided policy agendas have failed - and continue to fail - North Australians. This book helps breach that gap by acknowledging and harnessing Indigenous cultural strengths and knowledge systems for looking after the country and its people, as part of a smart, novel and diversified ecosystem services economy.

Howard Pedersen has been working with Indigenous leaders in northern Australia as policy advisor and speechwriter since the early 1980s. He has worked in government and Aboriginal organisations and his professional experience spans the breadth of the big picture policy issues which have shaped northern Australian development including land rights and native title economic empowerment and cultural protection and renewal.

Glenns formal education in Political Science Philosophy and Anthropology combined with his equally formative lived experience in remote communities and many personal and professional relationships in remote Australia informs his long term support for the aspirations and achievements of Indigenous people.
