Healing Land Healing People: Novel Nyungar Perspectives

This project aims to investigate means of biodiversity conservation and human resilience in a global hotspot by advancing collaborations between Aboriginal environmental and cultural knowledges and Western science and humanities. The project will generate new strategies to slow decline of biodiversity in the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, and help build Aboriginal resilience by exploring innovative techniques to restore narratives of local life styles to Dryandra Woodland history. Expected outcomes include enhanced sustainability of environment and culture and new theories and assessment models. This should provide significant benefits for Aboriginal well-being, national reconciliation and for coping with global climate change.

Indigenous involvement notes

Darryl is a Noongar man from the Narrogin area of Western Australia who has worked tirelessly for his people for more than 40 years.

OCBIL theory is an attempt to rethink the ecology and evolution of sedentary biota on these remarkable ancient uplands and, at least in SWAFR, learn from the cultural approaches of Aboriginal people that ultimately may develop sustainable ways of contemporary living on or near OCBILs.
