Register at this link

#ICOMOS #AustraliaICOMOS #ICOMOSNZ #ICOMOSPASIFIKA18 #climateheritage #climatecrisis

Join us for the third Webinar in the Caring For Country Webinar Series.

This Webinar Series has been organized by the Caring For Country Committee, a Working Group of Australia ICOMOS with members from Australia ICOMOS, ICOMOS New Zealand, ICOMOS Pasifika and Non-ICOMOS members from Oceania.

Webinar 3: Burning Country: Aboriginal Fire Practice in Caring for Country
Indigenous fire practice is a key aspect of caring for country and very important to maintaining cultural connections to place. In the face of climate change and other threats, caring for country practices, including fire practice, contain answers to the healing of damaged landscapes and managing climate change impacts. Through community engagement and empowerment, burning country can also provide communities with economic opportunities.

The presenters of this webinar, Ricky Archer, CEO Northern Australia Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance (NAILSMA) and Victor Steffensen, co-founder of Firesticks Alliance Indigenous Corporation, will share examples that illustrate key aspects of Indigenous fire practice and highlight the issues and opportunities that exist for its implementation across vast areas of Australia. They will also discuss the barriers to its use.

NAILSMA, a major landowner in the Northern Territory, works closely with Indigenous groups and organisations across Australia’s top end and has utilised savannah burning methodologies to provide economic benefits to communities across the region. Ricky Archer will describe how the application of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) provides solutions and opportunities for communities. He will also discuss the barriers that prevent adoption of traditional burning practices as a land management tool by the broader community. In 2020, the CSIRO partnered with NAILSMA to publish Our Knowledge Our Way Guidelines for Caring for Country. This document focusses on how non-Indigenous researchers should engage with Indigenous communities on projects.

Victor Steffensen, author of Fire Country, an essential reference on the topic of burning country, will talk of his experience of learning about fire from elders in his country in northern Queensland: the importance of ‘reading’ the country, the importance of passing on knowledge to communities and the importance of implementing knowledge via action, and the importance of community being involved and benefitting from that action.

For additional information about this webinar and the speakers, read the Caring for Country newsletter – Issue 3, Sept 2021.

The Videos from our first Caring For Country webinar Oceania Wisdom For a Climate Chance are on the ICOMOS Webinar Series webpage. Links to the Full Webinar 1: Oceania Wisdom For a Climate Chance and Webinar 2: Climate Change Adaptation for Aboriginal Cultural Heritage will be available soon.

Our thanks to Jaye Cook, Australia ICOMOS Associate Member and member of the Caring For Country Committee, for designing the graphics, logo, and templates for newsletter and presentations for the Caring For Country Webinar Series.

Membership of the Australia ICOMOS Heritage Planning Working Group – call for Expressions of Interest: deadline COB 15 October 2021

The Australia ICOMOS Heritage Planning Working Group (HPWG) was formed 2017. In accordance with Australia ICOMOS policy, it is now time to refresh the membership of this Working Group.

The purpose of the HPWG is to examine planning policy and provisions and current changes across Australia in relation to heritage and its conservation, and to identify issues for heritage conservation and potential actions for Australia ICOMOS.

The intention was never for this group to hold regular meetings, but to act as matters arise. Initially we looked at policy across all jurisdictions, and discussed several pertinent common issues.

Members of the refreshed HPWG will be selected based on demonstrated expertise and experience in heritage planning and policy. Membership is recommended to include two co-convenors or a convenor and a deputy convenor, and representation across all jurisdictions.

Young and emerging professional members with specialist skills or interest in the area, but who may not have sufficient expertise to become a member, may apply to become an adjunct member, which is normally a one-year appointment that is reviewed at the end of the year.

Further information about the Heritage Planning Work Group can be found at this link.

Please note that all individuals who express an interest in any Australia ICOMOS Working or Reference Group agree to be bound by the documents that can be found here. Once formed, the new Group may like to reconsider its Terms of Reference, and whether a Reference Group may be more appropriate.

Members of Australia ICOMOS are invited to express an interest in becoming a member of this Work Group by sending a completed HPWG_EOI-form_Sep-2021 to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by COB 15 October 2021.

For further information please contact the current Convenor, Deborah Lindsay via email.
