Narrating the Roles of Animals in Cultural Burning

本研究旨在了解人类和动物通过文化燃烧媒介共同构建景观的方式。这将是第一个基于使用文化火进行景观改造的土著土地上的人和动物的多物种人种志。在土著合作伙伴的带领下，这项研究将发展人类和动物如何在更广泛的社会生态框架内通过火的媒介共同构建景观的叙述。这些叙述将为森林管理、物种保护、养护管理、森林火灾缓解、促进生物多样性和土著居民健康等方面的政策和实践提供信息。

This research aims to produce knowledge of the ways in which humans and animals co-construct landscapes via the medium of cultural burning. 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.
