Cultural Wetland Burning

CSIRO

Visit Organisation Website

Whole Indigenous families get involved in burning of the wetlands in Kakadu. Burning is important for biodiversity and sustainability and the tradition has been passed down for thousands of years. In partnership with Kakadu Park management on the Boggy Plains Project, the burn offs have made significant impacts on flora returns and wildlife populations and have reduced the threat of wild fires in the woodlands surrounding the wetlands.

We acknowledge and respect Traditional Owners as the original custodians of the Earth’s land and waters, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom ensures the continuation of culture and traditional practices.
We are committed to genuinely partner, and meaningfully engage, with Victoria’s Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities to support the protection of Country, the maintenance of spiritual and cultural practices and their broader aspirations in the 21st century and beyond.
