"Floods, fires and droughts in Australia devastate lives, destroy wildlife and
damage property. These disasters also cost billions of dollars through loss of
agricultural and economic productivity, environmental vitality and costs to
mental health. People are looking for long-term solutions from politicians and
researchers.
It’s time to listen to First Nations people who have extensive knowledge of
Country.
For tens of thousands of years, First Nations people have addressed changing
weather on this continent and successfully applied their knowledges to land
management. Their knowledge and contribution deserve full recognition.
To this end, our new research argues Australian researchers must recognise the
value of First Nations people to find new and more effective ways to tackle
climate and environment problems."
