We are also doing it in New South Wales with the Yuin people, with the Fire Sticks Alliance, now known as the Living Knowledge Practice Organisation.
They are teaching cultural fire management practices.
They're also bringing our cultural fire management practices to New Zealand and Canada.
And, you know, when we look at traditional fire stick farming or cool burns, they have a set of rules that, you know, the whole methodology of cultural fire management practices is to keep the country young.
So we burn in really small pockets, in really low flames, and we don't burn treetop canopies.
The reason for that is that if you burn the treetop canopy, the animals won't be able to escape the fire.
It also wrecks the pattern.
And the whole idea of practicing the cool burns and burning in particular seasons and times of year means that you keep the plants young because they regrow and they don't have as much fuel.
So cultural fire management practices are being adopted widely across the continent.
And we are seeing, we aren't seeing catastrophic bushfires where those cultural fire burns are happening.
Yeah, and you've got to think about it from a First Nations point of view.
Our seasons don't really marry up with European seasons.
We might have six or seven or eight different seasons based on that traditional owner group.
So the Darug people, and shout out to any Darug people out there and the Raja people who are the traditional owners of the Blue Mountains, they would be their own set of ecology-based rules for cultural burns for the Blue Mountains.
But...
When we do cultural burns on country, we generally do it when it is cooler, where there is a lot of moisture.
And the whole concept of that is doing it at the right time of year so that it can foster that regrowth.
So there is a lot of dew, there is a lot of moisture, and then that means that the plants can recover quicker.
And so like with the Blue Mountains and those devastating bushfires, the problem is, is that the landscape has been altered because those practices weren't practiced.
And it takes a while for that ecosystem to go back to what we call a normal state.
