Culturally Informed Fire

The Culturally Informed Fire program includes Indigenous fire, cultural, and ecological management practices.

Culturally Informed Fire has the potential to contribute to Australia’s carbon reduction targets through carbon emissions abatement by;

• advancing landscape fire management methods, and
• sequestering carbon in vegetation and soil by providing the right conditions for land and habitat to regenerate.

A key outcome of the program will be to expand community and Ranger preparedness and build capacity in Emergency Management Services.​
In summary, the Culturally Informed Fire program will see the following benefits:

• Contribution to carbon reduction targets
• Australian first nation custodians as global leaders in Culturally Informed Fire.
• Commonwealth and State collaboration in Emergency Management.
• Contributions to prescribed burning programs, and
• Environmental and ecological outcomes.
