THE KNOWLEDGE

‘Indigenous knowledge must lead us out of the emergency of climate change and species extinction. Buy this book.’ David Suzuki Catastrophic wildfires have overwhelmed countries around the world from Australia, Canada and the United States to Greece and Brazil. Despite our growing climate crisis, changes to Western environmental approaches have been scant and many land management practices continue to destroy the land. It’s time for a ‘new’ way of thinking. The solutions lie in the cultures of First Peoples, if only we’re willing to listen. As a Tagalaka man from Australia, Victor Steffensen spends his days educating people around the world about Aboriginal fire and land management knowledge. Applying the practices passed onto him by his mentors, Victor is on a mission to teach others the value of this knowledge.
