Managing endangered Banteng in a jointly-managed national park: contested values, Indigenous aspirations and resource use

北澳大利亚庞大的野生动物种群应该被消灭以进行保护，还是作为偏远地区土著企业的难得机会加以利用？我们研究了一群班腾牛的选择，班腾牛是一种在亚洲本土濒临灭绝的牛种，但在Gurig Ganak Barlu国家公园里数量众多，这是由传统所有者和保护机构共同管理的土著土地。在这项独特的跨学科研究中，土著和非土著利益相关者将确定可能受到班腾威胁的公园价值。这些价值将被纳入决策支持工具（生物经济模型），确定保护价值和为土著土地所有者提供收入之间的权衡。

Should north Australia's huge populations of feral animals be eradicated for conservation, or exploited as a rare opportunity for Aboriginal enterprise in remote regions? We examine options for a herd of Banteng, a cattle species endangered in its native Asian range but abundant in Gurig Ganak Barlu National Park, Aboriginal land managed jointly by traditional owners and a conservation agency. In this unique cross-disciplinary study Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal stakeholders will identify Park values that may be threatened by Banteng. Those values will be incorporated in decision-support tools (bio-economic models) identifying tradeoffs between protecting values and providing incomes for Indigenous landowners.
