Australia, Northern Territory, Tiwi Islands, 21 June 2017
A controlled bush fire on Melville Island purposely set to reduce fuel loads and lessen the likelihood of large scale, out of control fires later in the dry season. For thousands of years the Tiwi Aboriginal people have used fire as a practical tool to manage their natural landscape. It has always been an important part of how they looked after their country. With colonization, many Aboriginal people were forcibly removed from their country and as a result traditional fire management stopped, resulting in severe consequences for the land. Large fires during the late dry season burn uncontrollably, destroying forest canopies, leaving no refuge for wildlife and releasing huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. With the introduction of The Indigenous Rangers program in 2007 many Indigenous people are combining their traditional knowledge with conservation training to once again be in charge of protecting and managing their own country. As well, resposnsible burning has produced an interesting potential funding model for remote Aboriginal communities through “carbon farming”. Though reducing their emissions by burning responsibly, communities are earning Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) which can be sold on the open market.

Un feu de brousse sur l'оle Melville a йtй dйlibйrйment allumй pour rйduire la probabilitй d'incendies а grande йchelle, plus tard pendant la saison sиche. Depuis des milliers d'annйes, les autochtones Tiwi utilisent le feu comme outil pratique pour gйrer leur paysage naturel. Cela a toujours fait partie de leur faзon de s'occuper de leur territoire. Avec la colonisation, de nombreux autochtones ont йtй chassйs de force de leur pays et, par consйquent, la gestion traditionnelle des incendies a cessй, ce qui a eu de graves consйquences pour la terre. Les grands incendies de la fin de la saison sиche brыlent de faзon incontrфlable
