It will be the first multispecies ethnography of people and animals on Native Title land engaged in landscape modification based on the use of cultural fire. Taking its lead from Indigenous partners this research will develop narratives of how humans, and animals co-construct landscapes via the medium of fire within wider socio-ecological frameworks. These narratives will inform policy and practice with regard to forest management, protection of species, conservation management, bushfire mitigation, promotion of biodiversity, and Indigenous health.
