Tasmanian Aboriginal Group Shares Cultural Burning Techniques to Protect Land 🔥

An Aboriginal-led group has completed a run of workshops in Tasmania, teaching traditional methods of land management using smaller, cooler fires to help regenerate the landscape and reduce fuel loads. The Firesticks group says Western burning practices, though "well-intentioned", have "often contributed to further damage to the country by lighting hazard-reduction fires that are too hot, lit at the wrong time and in the wrong place".
