Social benefits of Aboriginal engagement in natural resource management in New South Wales

Research team: Jon Altman, Janet Hunt

Project status: Current

Research type: CAEPR research

This Project will explore the range of benefits which derive from the diverse experiences Aboriginal people have of Working on Country in New South Wales. Following an extensive review of the literature and current New South Wales initiatives in 2009, initial fieldwork is focusing on the benefits emerging from an Indigenous Protected Area on the New England Tablelands and from selected Green Teams in the Northern Rivers area. The study is funded by the New South Wales Department of Climate Change and Water.
