Email: [email protected] 2 IUCN CEM Theme Leader Ecosystems and Invasive Species; Independent Ecologist. Email: [email protected] 3 Firesticks Advisor, Nature Conservation Council of NSW, Australia. Email: [email protected] This booklet was compiled as a product of the Indigenous People and Invasive Species Symposium in the Respecting Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge and Culture Session of the 2014 World Parks Congress, Sydney. Although invited, not all speakers in the symposium produced a written article for this publication. Some articles did not feature in the symposium; however, were accepted here to increase global representation. Further submissions are encouraged to maintain this publication as an ongoing compilation of articles on this topic so feel free to contribute! We also note that we have consciously not overly modified the content of submissions to allow for freedom of expression of contributors. Modifications were mainly aesthetic to facilitate a cohesive format and visual effect. This is not a scientific publication and hence, standards in scientific writing were not enforced. The booklet was intended to be produced with visual appeal, minimal text and as a community targeted publication to enhance readership. The IUCN Standard on Indigenous Peoples (January 2015) adopted the definition of “Indigenous Peoples” from the “statement of coverage” contained in the ILO Convention 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries. This definition includes: • Peoples who identify themselves as Indigenous in strict sense; • Tribal peoples whose social, cultural and economic conditions distinguish them form other sections of the national community, and whose status is regulated wholly or partially by their own customs or traditions or by species laws or regulations; • Traditional peoples not necessarily called Indigenous or tribal but who share the same characteristics of social, cultural, and economic conditions that distinguish them from other sections of the national community, whose status is regulated wholly or partially by their own customs or traditions, and whose livelihoods are closely connected to ecosystems and their goods and services. Congruous with the IUCN aim of promoting the cultural identity, resilience, health and nature- based livelihoods of Indigenous people, the focus of the Indigenous People and Invasive Species World Parks Congress symposium was to promote the different perceptions, management, challenges and uses of Invasive Species by Indigenous Peoples. We by no means state that this booklet is comprehensive but contains those submissions made to us. We also take no responsibility or claim for intellectual property contained in the articles, this is held by the authors. Yellomundee Firesticks Den Barber and Paul Glass New South Wales National Parks & Wildlife Service and Yellomundee Aboriginal Bushcare, Australia Contact: [email protected] or visit Yellomundee Firesticks on Facebook Yellomundee Firesticks with Yellomundee Aboriginal Bushcare are treating African Lovegrass (Eragrostis spp.) and Lantana (Lantana camara) with cultural fire on Darug land. ‘Firesticks aims to increase culturally relevant learning pathways that enable a greater diversity of fire, sustaining a healthy people and healthy country approach to Natural and Cultural Resource Management.’ Applying cultural fire assists with the heavy labour of manual removal of weeds. Cultural fire is a cool fire that burns the invasive weed to allow native species a chance to regenerate. Cultural fire removes biomass and allows sunlight to hit the ground where native seedlings fight to compete with exotic weeds. Cool fire also stimulates native seed bank while not burning surrounding native gum (Eucalypt spp.) trees. 2 Yellomundee Firesticks have mapped the areas burnt by cultural fire and will monitor the response by both the weeds and native vegetation. Above: Native grass recovering after the burn A Pacific Baza (Aviceda subcristata) showed up during our burning and we observed it closely. It was possibly benefiting from the fire as well. 3 Invasive Pest Attack in North Bengal Ashok Das Gupta Researcher and Extentionist on Indigenous Knowledge related to agriculture Dept. of Anthropology, University of North Bengal, India Email: [email protected] North Bengal spans the sub-Himalayan area of the West Bengal State of India. It includes the Teesta-Brahmaputra and Mahananda-Ganges River basins separated by the Barindland Ridge. Parts of Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan Himalayas and the Foothill regions are also part of this territory. There are many rural- urban areas in Sub-Himalayan North Bengal especially tea- plantations which are surrounded by sacred groves, social forestry, gardens, parks and small rivers. Rajbanshis are Indigenous to the plain, hillock and ridge portions (not the Himalayan pockets) and live an agrarian rural lifestyle. They are associated with animal husbandry on both waterweeds of marshland areas and special grasses grown in grassland areas of upland catchment areas. They also cultivate some local rice paddy varieties , jute, summer and monsoon vegetables, chilli, spices, banana and leafy vegetables and collect yams, fruits, arum and edible ferns. They also collect fishes from local streams, wetlands, ditches and catchment areas. They use paddy-come-fish as well as fish-come- duck types of production systems. Some Rajbanshis also work in the local tea-gardens. 4 In the tea garden areas, Caterpillars emerge from eggs in the soil and attack attack of looper and plants which has become a serious problem for small other hairy caterpillars scale tea gardens. Lime, micro nutrients, organic has increased to a high manure, bioNPK, di ammonium phosphate (DAP), level. They are coming chemical weeding, irrigation through sprinklers, from shade trees and nitrogen manure are added to the tea plantations. neighboring jungles and Regular spacing, proper seed bed management, have become a matter ramming, good shade trees and ring systems are also of concern for the followed. Timely rain in the pre-monsoon and monsoon economy and agriculture assists with natural control of caterpillars. of the region. The pesticide Alphamethrin is no longer effective and Quinalphos, Imamectin benzoate and Cypermethrin are now more common. Local Rajbanshis from earlier days perform certain sacred bathing in winter and spring such as Maghali sinan, Bauni sinan and also worship the rivers when monsoon begins. Now, we could understand that these performances are all related to timely raining that control the pests in natural way. 5 Managing Weeds on Bunuba Country in the Kimberley, Western Australia Clive Aiken, Natalie Davey, Kendrick Chungul (Bunuba Rangers); Tom Bach and Haripriya Rangan (Monash University); and Christian Kull (Monash University/ Université de Lausanne) Caring for Bunuba Country Bunuba Country is located in the central Kimberley region of Western Australia. The Bunuba Rangers work on behalf of the Bunuba people to look after Country in accordance with their culture and customs. The Rangers work in partnership with the Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife and research organisations such as Monash University to share knowledge about how best to care for their country. A significant part of sharing knowledge and caring for country involves managing weeds at significant sites around the Fitzroy River, which flows through Bunuba Country.

A lot of thought and research has gone into the naming of Googong North’s streets, parks and playgrounds. So we thought we’d share the stories behind these names that may have already become such a familiar part of your life at Googong. The stories are all rooted in the region’s history. Googong’s parks, playgrounds and open spaces celebrate the rich history of the natural indigenous custodians of the land. The streets pay homage to the early settlers of the region, as well as places and personalities from more recent history.

  • Two Colonisation Stages Generate Two Different Patterns of Genetic Diversity Within Native and Invasive Ranges of Ulex Europaeus
    Heredity (2013) 111, 355–363 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0018-067X/13 www.nature.com/hdy ORIGINAL ARTICLE Two colonisation stages generate two different patterns of genetic diversity within native and invasive ranges of Ulex europaeus B Hornoy1,3, A Atlan1, V Roussel1,4, YM Buckley2 and M Tarayre1 Genetic diversity and the way a species is introduced influence the capacity of populations of invasive species to persist in, and adapt to, their new environment. The diversity of introduced populations affects their evolutionary potential, which is particularly important for species that have invaded a wide range of habitats and climates, such as European gorse, Ulex europaeus. This species originated in the Iberian peninsula and colonised Europe in the Neolithic; over the course of the past two centuries it was introduced to, and has become invasive in, other continents. We characterised neutral genetic diversity and its structure in the native range and in invaded regions. By coupling these results with historical data, we have identified the way in which gorse populations were introduced and the consequences of introduction history on genetic diversity. Our study is based on the genotyping of individuals from 18 populations at six microsatellite loci. As U. europaeus is an allohexaploid species, we used recently developed tools that take into account genotypic ambiguity. Our results show that genetic diversity in gorse is very high and mainly contained within populations. We confirm that colonisation occurred in two stages. During the first stage, gorse spread out naturally from Spain towards northern Europe, losing some genetic diversity. During the second stage, gorse was introduced by humans into different regions of the world, from northern Europe.

  • Kimberley Land Council Submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission Inquiry Into the Native Title Act: Issues Paper 45 General Comment
    Kimberley Land Council Submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission Inquiry into the Native Title Act: Issues Paper 45 General comment The Kimberley Land Council (KLC) is the native title representative body for the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The KLC is also a grass roots community organisation which has represented the interests of Kimberley Traditional Owners in their struggle for recognition of ownership of country since 1978. The KLC is cognisant of the limitations of the Native Title Act (NTA) in addressing the wrongs of the past and providing a clear pathway to economic, social and cultural independence for Aboriginal people in the future. The KLC strongly supports the review of the NTA by the Australian Law Reform Commission (Review) in the hope that it might provide an increased capacity for the NTA to address both past wrongs and the future needs and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The dispossession of country which occurred as a result of colonisation has had a profound and long lasting impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Country (land and sea) is centrally important to the cultural, social and familial lives of Aboriginal people, and its dispossession has had profound and continuing intergenerational effects. However, interests in land (and waters) is also a primary economic asset and its dispossession from Traditional Owners has prevented them from enjoying the benefits of its utilisation for economic purposes, and bestowed those benefits on others (in particular, in the Kimberley, pastoral, mining and tourism interests). The role of the NTA is to provide one mechanism for the original dispossession of country to be addressed, albeit imperfectly and subject to competing interests.

  • Re-Thinking Impacts of Island Colonisation
    Kerry-Anne Mairs (2007) Islands and human impact... University of Edinburgh, Unpublished PhD Thesis. 398 pp. Chapter 3: Island contexts Chapter 3 Island contexts Introduction Perhaps the thing that most distinguishes islands, at least oceanic islands… is their extreme vulnerability or susceptibility to disturbance (Fosberg 1963: 559). This chapter examines the wider context of island research as introduced in the framework in Figure 1.5 with regards to the notion that islands represent a model system, from which globally occurring processes can be understood. The chapter aims to provide a brief overview of islands and what characterises them, both as islands, and as locations from which to explore human-environment interactions. Recent examples of human-environment research in some Pacific islands, where wide ranging archaeological and comparative-led research has been carried out, are also reviewed. From this research, hypotheses regarding human impacts on environments can be developed with regards to the Faroe Islands. Island contexts as models for human impact and global change The smaller, more manageable spatial scale and insularity of island environments and societies, has made islands (particularly remote islands) popular field locations for research in a variety of disciplines, including biology, ecology, biogeography, ethnography and more recently, environmental archaeology. Islands have been referred to as outdoor laboratories (Kirch 1997a, Fitzhugh and Hunt 1997), where human-environment research can be approached from a comparative

  • The Great White Egret in Europe: Population Increase and Range Expansion Since 1980 Łukasz Ławicki
    The Great White Egret in Europe: population increase and range expansion since 1980 Łukasz Ławicki Abstract The European breeding and non-breeding populations of the Great White Egret Ardea alba have increased dramatically since 1980. During this period the breeding range has expanded to the north and west, and the species has nested for the first time in 13 countries, including Sweden and England. Since 2000 there has also been a substantial increase in the wintering populations in western and central Europe, where it formerly wintered in small numbers or only occasionally, with flocks of several hundred individuals reported from some countries. Changes in the availability of foraging habitat and food, the cessation of persecution and related human-induced mortality, improved legal protection, and climate change have probably all played a part in the patterns described here. The feathers of the male are much sought after as decorations, which in the East are a sign of great dignity and highly prized; formerly they were used in Europe as ornamentation by knights and the fair sex.
