Timber harvest management for the Aboriginal arts industry: socio-economic, cultural and ecological determinants of sustainability in a remote community context

土著艺术产业的木材收获管理：边远社区可持续性的社会经济、文化和生态决定因素。对于偏远社区的土著人民来说，土著艺术产业是为数不多的发展机会之一：在一些地区，一个充满活力的产业已经建立了三十年。然而，对艺术生产可持续性的社会、生态和经济决定因素进行综合评估的研究有限。该项目涉及马宁格丽达艺术和文化公司在阿纳姆地中部销售的雕塑的迅速扩大的生产，以解决这一问题。该项目将调查资源的使用和可获得性，研究这一新兴艺术传统的生态和经济可行性，并提出切实的建议，以增强可持续性。

Timber harvest management for the Aboriginal arts industry: socio-economic, cultural and ecological determinants of sustainability in a remote community context. The Aboriginal arts industry is one of few development opportunities for Indigenous people in remote communities: in some regions a vibrant industry has been established for three decades. Yet there has been limited research that has combined assessment of the social, ecological and economic determinants of arts production sustainability. This project addresses this issue with reference to the rapidly expanding manufacture of sculptures marketed by Maningrida Arts and Culture in central Arnhem Land. The project will survey resource use and availability, examine the ecological and economic viability of this emerging artistic tradition and make practical recommendations to enhance sustainability.
