Indiginous Environmental Management Post-Inensive

So I discovered why it was called an intensive- exactly for the reason you think.
8-5 makes for long days but it was good and informative. We learned about different types of land management models, protected area types and history, the Convention of Biological Diversity, the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People, and more then I can manage to recall at the moment.

The best part was when we work-shopped with a bunch of people who are all traditional owners and are in some way working to promote collaboration either within communities or between communities and a management authority.

This included rangers, CEO organizations, and a community organizer who is helping Indigenous groups document and preserve traditions and knowledge; particularly fire knowledge.

It was incredible to hear the hope and resilience from all of these speakers and how they see their communities moving forward.
