Cultural burns start across Murrah Flora Reserves

Date Time Cultural burns start across Murrah Flora Reserves The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will support a series of cultural burns in the Murrah Flora Reserves alongside Aboriginal fire practitioners. Paula Tomkins, NPWS Area Manager, said the Service will support local Firesticks Alliance Indigenous Corporation members to undertake the burns starting 26 July. “These cultural burns not only benefit the biodiversity in the Flora Reserves south of Narooma, but also support Aboriginal community engagement in caring for Country,” said Ms Tomkins. “The small, low-intensity cultural burns are due to start the week of 26 July and will occur throughout July and August at Nutleys Creek, Mountain Fire Trail, Darby Trail and Vimmy Ridge.

Wet Tropics wildlife is celebrated worldwide

Research Group Leader, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History However, the cultural heritage of the Wet Tropics isn’t recognised or celebrated with quite the same gusto, with the world heritage listing failing to acknowledge the rich, ongoing significance of Aboriginal culture. Our recent paper assessed existing archaeological, paleoenvironmental, and historical evidence. And we showed the diverse ways these forests are globally significant – not just for their ecological heritage, but also for preserving traces of millennia of human activities. But there’s much scope for cultural recognition to go further on a national level, too. While the Wet Tropics’ National Heritage Listing recognises Indigenous heritage, Traditional Owners should have more freedom to manage the region in our holistic way. This would lead to better outcomes for the environment.
