This is the story of fire is part of northern Australia. For First Nations people living across the vast area for millennia – fire is a tool: for hunting, for cooking, for keeping warm, for ceremony and for caring for country. Caring for country in this part of the world – a fire-prone savanna ecosystem – means using fire to burn small patches at the coolest time of the year to hold back wildfires during the hottest, driest times of the year. But when colonisation took hold, and people were forced from off the land – this type of caring for country stopped. Wildfires took hold – destroying flora and fauna and everything in its past. That’s until Aboriginal groups in Arnhem Land teamed up with scientists to create a world first formula that proved that the traditional practice of cool burning reduced devastating wildfires, thereby reducing carbon … this the savanna methodology was born. Today Indigenous groups across Australia get carbon credits for their work. It’s become one of the greatest success stories to ever come out of the Northern Territory.
