WARNING - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised this episode may contain the names or voices of deceased people.
A recently completed research project has showcased great potential for the development of sustainable native forestry activities in the Northern Territory led by Traditional Owner communities.
In this episode of WoodChat, we hear from two of the leading researchers from this project - Northern Territory Government Project Manager Dallas Anson and University of the Sunshine Coast Associate Professor (Adjunct) Mark Annandale.
Dallas and Mark discuss their involvement with the initiative, which aimed to boost the forestry capacity of Indigenous communities in the East Arnhem region.
During the episode, listeners will also hear from Indigenous project participants, Mabo Mununggurritj and Balupalu Yunapingu about their experiences.
The project saw training offered to Traditional Owners in operational skills and forest management principles, and the establishment of a Sustainable Native Forestry Demonstration Site where products were manufactured from locally harvested timber.
Other activities included raising stakeholder awareness of the value of sustainable Indigenous-led commercial forestry, and the exploration of potential business development opportunities.
With thanks to the Traditional Custodians of the Gumatj lands.
