Ningaloo is also the nesting ground for at least four species of marine turtles, all of which are threatened. A TSN Community Grant allowed the Cape Conservation Group, the WA Department of Environment and Conservation, Murdoch University and WWF-Australia to establish an ongoing turtle monitoring program involving the participation of local volunteers and the identification of significant turtle nesting sites. Volunteers continue to monitor the turtles every nesting season.

This TSN Community Grant-funded project incorporated on- ground work using a combination of contemporary and traditional ecological knowledge, and the implementation of traditional land management practices. Collaborating for some special species Landholders, land managers, government agencies and community groups have been working to protect threatened plant species on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula. A TSN Community Grant helped to implement urgent recovery actions including surveying for new populations, monitoring known populations, weed control, stock proof fencing, rabbit and snail control and seed collection. A covenant has been secured over four hectares of private land, protecting it in perpetuity, and two new community groups have been formed to undertake future conservation activities. Collaborating for some special species — Hop bush. © TPAG The wandering warrarna Tangentyere Council Inc, in partnership with the Central Land Council and Birds Australia and with the assistance of a TSN Community Grant, examined the distribution and abundance of Great Desert skink (warrarna) in relation to the fire history of the area. Nyirripi school students participated in the surveys where they learned Traditional Knowledge about the warrarna from Aboriginal elders. Information from this project has informed a fire management plan for nearby Newhaven Reserve (a National Reserve System property owned by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy) to implement appropriate patch-burning for great desert skinks. This plan has also been assisted by TSN Community Grant funding.

Revegetating corridors between protected areas is a vital contribution that private landholders can make to the conservation of threatened ecosystems and species, such as Mabi forest and the southern cassowary. A TSN Community Grant allowed the group to repair gaps in the corridor left by tree loss due to frost or drought, allowing the canopy to close faster and become more resilient to weed invasion. TREAT members regularly monitor revegetated sites for seedling growth and species abundance in the forest.

The projects aim to reverse the decline of woodland birds by creating a large sustainable habitat mosaic on both private and common lands in the Cowra region. A TSN Community Grant provided funds for fencing and planting 5000 trees on three properties. Data from regular bird surveys is being analysed to provide advice on the management of woodland remnants for bird conservation. In a region where up to 90 per cent of the native vegetation has been cleared, this project highlights the importance of protecting remnant and replanted habitat on a variety of land tenures, if our woodland bird species are not to be lost forever.

  • Watarru Collaboration
    Watarru Collaboration Language Group Pitjantjatjara Region APY Lands Biography The artists of Watarru have received high acclaim for their collaborative paintings. Their initial collaborative works were commissioned by the Department for Environment and Heritage and now hang permanently in the South Australian Parliament. These are the first Indigenous paintings to hang in parliament house. In 2007 they won a major prize in the national Drawing Together competition sponsored by the Australian Public Service Commission, a competitive award, which attracted over 570 entries from across Australia. Tjungu Palya : Located about 100kms south of Uluru, Nyapari is set at the base of the majestic Mann Ranges in the heart of country traditionally owned by the Pitjantjatjara people. These ranges known to Anangu as Murputja, likening the mountain to the bony ridge of a person’s spine, are the source of many water holes and traditional camping places. The homelands of Kanpi, Nyapari, Angatja, Umpukulu and Tjankanu have grown from these seasonal camping places into permanent settlements. Over fifty artists from Murputja joined together with family members living in traditional country 180kms to the south at Watarru and created Tjungu Palya (Good Together). The artists involved in this work vary but are generally, Beryl Jimmy, Tinpulya Mervin, Wipana Jimmy and Imitjala Pollard. Tjungu Palya is 100% owned and managed by Aboriginal people ensuring the wealth of talent and economic returns are retained in the community. Tjungu Palya promotes cultural integrity and the ethical sales of authentic art.

  • An Integrated Assessment of Projected Climate Change Impacts And
    It Depends Which Way the Wind Blows: An integrated assessment of projected climate change impacts and adaptation options for the Alinytjara Wilurara Natural Resources Management region FINAL REPORT June 2012 ISBN 978 1 921800 42 9 1 FOREWORD As stated by Warwick Baird, at the 2008 Climate change and Indigenous Peoples conference in Perth “ ... climate change was impacting and was going to impact even more on indigenous peoples globally in a unique way, because of this deep engagement they have with the land. “ Aboriginal and Torres Strait people have the care and control of over 20% of the land in Australia and this link is recognised internationally. Engagement with the first nation peoples over the policies and directions of climate change initiatives needs to be a focus of national and state programs. Aboriginal people across South Australia need to be fully included in climate change discussions, particularly about how it will affect their culture, their land and water resources, so they can make informed decisions about what to do next. The Alinytjara Wilurara Natural Resource Management Board acknowledges some progress at a Federal level towards this and that more clarity is needed for communities to be able to understand what is available to support them. The Natural Resource Management Boards are a good conduit to help this process The Board with the support of communities and Adelaide University developed this report as the first of many steps needed in our Region to look at the impact of climate change on the land and possible effects on community’s ability to look after that land.

  • Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands
    INTEGRATION OF BIODIVERSITY INTO REGIONAL NRM PLANNING CASE STUDY # 7 INDIGENOUS PROTECTED AREAS – ANANGU PITJANTJATJARA LANDS Biodiversity conservation and cultural heritage preservation are inseparable for indigenous people Central Australia: Region: Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands Affiliated Regional NRM Group: Aboriginal Lands Region of South Australia Background Indigenous Protected Areas (IPA’s) are a voluntary agreement entered into by the Traditional Owners of the land and the Commonwealth government to promote biodiversity and cultural resource conservation on indigenous owned land. The Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands cover 107,000 square kilometres where the boundaries of South Australia, Northern Territory and West Australia meet. Within this area, two IPA's have been established: Walalkara (1.3 million hectares) and Watarru (0.7 million hectares). Preparation was started in 1998, with approval gained in 2002. The goals of the IPA program are: ! to establish partnerships between government and indigenous land managers to support the development of a comprehensive, adequate and representative national system of protected areas which is consistent with the international protected areas classification by assisting indigenous people to establish and manage protected areas on estates for which they hold title and assisting indigenous groups and Commonwealth, State and Territory agencies to develop partnerships for co-operative management of existing protected areas; ! to promote indigenous involvement in protected area management by supporting the establishment of co-operatively managed protected areas in each jurisdiction and promotion of national best practice approaches to co-operative partnerships in protected area management; ! to promote and integrate indigenous ecological and cultural knowledge into contemporary protected area management practices, in accordance with internationally endorsed protected areas guidelines.

  • The Vegetation of the Western Australian Deserts
    ©Reinhold-Tüxen-Gesellschaft (http://www.reinhold-tuexen-gesellschaft.de/) Ber. d. Reinh.-Tüxen-Ges. 18, 219-228. Hannover 2006 The Vegetation of the Western Australian Deserts - Erika and Sandro Pignatti, Rom - Abstract The internal area of W. Australia has arid climate and conditions for plant growth are particularly difficult. The surface of this huge, almost uninhabited territory consists of four landscape systems: the Great Sandy Desert, the Little Sandy Desert, the Great Victoria Desert, the Gibson Desert. The four deserts extend between 21-26° of south- ern latitude, linking to the central Australian deserts and the Nullarbor Plain in the South. Meteorological stations are only in settlements of the surrounding semi-desert areas (Wiluna, Meekatharra, Cue, Warburton), and all show around 200-250 mm year- ly rainfall; in the centre of the deserts rainfall is still much lower, and indicated as “erratic and unreliable”; some areas may lack rain for several years. Despite of the par- ticularly severe ecological conditions, most of the surface is covered by vegetation (at least a discontinuous one) and during expeditions in 2001 and 2002 over 700 species were collected and more than 350 phytosociological relevés were carried out.Two main habitat types can be recognized: Mulga – scattered growth of treelets (Acacia aneura, generally about 3-4 m height), with open understorey (Senna, Eremophila, Solanum) and herbs usually covering less than 20 % of the surface; in the Gibson Desert mulga occurs mainly on hard rock sub- strate (granite, laterite). Because of the discontinuous plant cover, fire can spread only over limited areas. Spinifex – Quite a compact cover of perennial grasses (several species of Triodia, with sharply pointed leaves in dense tussocks 3-5 dm high, panicles up to 1 m and high- er) in monospecific populations covering 60-80 % of the surface; in the sandy deserts, on siliceous sand.

  • A Needs-Based Review of the Status of Indigenous Languages in South Australia
    “KEEP THAT LANGUAGE GOING!” A Needs-Based Review of the Status of Indigenous Languages in South Australia A consultancy carried out by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, South Australia by Patrick McConvell, Rob Amery, Mary-Anne Gale, Christine Nicholls, Jonathan Nicholls, Lester Irabinna Rigney and Simone Ulalka Tur May 2002 Declaration The authors of this report wish to acknowledge that South Australia’s Indigenous communities remain the custodians for all of the Indigenous languages spoken across the length and breadth of this state. Despite enormous pressures and institutionalised opposition, Indigenous communities have refused to abandon their culture and languages. As a result, South Australia is not a storehouse for linguistic relics but remains the home of vital, living languages. The wisdom of South Australia’s Indigenous communities has been and continues to be foundational for all language programs and projects. In carrying out this project, the Research Team has been strengthened and encouraged by the commitment, insight and linguistic pride of South Australia’s Indigenous communities. All of the recommendations contained in this report are premised on the fundamental right of Indigenous Australians to speak, protect, strengthen and reclaim their traditional languages and to pass them on to future generations. * Within this report, the voices of Indigenous respondents appear in italics. In some places, these voices stand apart from the main body of the report, in other places, they are embedded within sentences. The decision to incorporate direct quotations or close paraphrases of Indigenous respondent’s view is recognition of the importance of foregrounding the perspectives and aspirations of Indigenous communities across the state.
