Provides an insight into the environmental knowledge of Indigenous
Australians. Indigenous Australians have long understood
sustainable hunting and harvesting, seasonal changes in flora and
fauna, predator-prey relationships and imbalances, and seasonal
fire management. Yet the extent of their knowledge and expertise
has been largely unknown and underappreciated by non-Aboriginal
colonists, especially in the south-east of Australia where
Aboriginal culture was severely fractured. Aboriginal Biocultural
Knowledge in South-eastern Australia is the first book to examine
historical records from early colonists who interacted with
south-eastern Australian Aboriginal communities and documented
their understanding of the environment, natural resources such as
water and plant and animal foods, medicine and other aspects of
their material world. This book provides a compelling case for the
importance of understanding Indigenous knowledge, to inform
discussions around climate change, biodiversity, resource
management, health and education. It will be a valuable reference
for natural resource management agencies, academics in Indigenous
studies and anyone interested in Aboriginal culture and knowledge.
