Knowledge integration for Torres Strait sustainability

该项目旨在调查托雷斯海峡岛民如何利用针对具体情况的当地知识和研究证据来应对环境可持续性挑战。托雷斯海峡的环境正面临重大威胁，有必要通过研究确定能够应对这些挑战的战略。然而，目前在将现有的研究知识翻译到托雷斯海峡语境中存在着重大障碍。该项目将研究知识是如何（从文化角度）构建的，并制定新的方法，将研究成果纳入托雷斯海峡知识。该项目将支持增强托雷斯海峡岛民的能力，使他们能够寻求对其决策最有用的研究信息。

This project aims to investigate how Torres Strait Islanders use context-specific local knowledge and research evidence to address environmental sustainability challenges. The Torres Strait is experiencing significant threats to its environment and there is a need to use research to identify strategies that can meet these challenges. However, at present significiant barriers exist in the translation of current research knowledge to the Torres Strait context. The project will examine how knowledge is constructed (culturally) and develop new methods to allow research findings to be integrated into Torres Strait knowledge. This project will support the empowerment of Torres Strait Islander people to seek the research information that is most useful for their decision-making.
