This project aims to improve fire management in Australian deserts. Working with 4 Indigenous ranger teams managing >150,000 km2 of the Great Sandy Desert, the project expects to document fire patterns caused by pre-European, traditional burning practices over large environmental gradients; compare these with contemporary fire patterns; and undertake extensive fieldwork to understand how fire affects native fauna, including culturally significant species. This information will shape a template for fire management planning and evaluation that is culturally meaningful to local managers. The project should support Indigenous rangers to access sustainable funding pathways for conservation management through emerging biodiversity markets.

该项目旨在改善澳大利亚沙漠的火灾管理。该项目与管理着面积超过150，000平方公里的大桑迪沙漠的4个土著护林员团队合作，预计将记录欧洲前传统燃烧做法在大环境梯度上造成的火灾模式;将这些火灾模式与当代火灾模式进行比较;并进行广泛的实地考察，以了解火灾如何影响本地动物群，包括具有文化意义的物种。这些信息将形成一个对当地管理人员具有文化意义的火灾管理规划和评估模板。该项目应支持土著护林员通过新兴的生物多样性市场获得可持续的保护管理资金渠道。
