Indigenous and non‐Indigenous knowledge and values combine to support management of Nywaigi lands in the Queensland coastal tropics

A groundbreaking collaboration between the Nywaigi Aboriginal people and non-Indigenous stakeholders has demonstrated that integrating Indigenous and scientific knowledge can effectively address complex natural resource management challenges. This approach, implemented on the Mungalla property in Queensland's coastal tropics since 1999, has not only supported customary aspirations of the Nywaigi but also built their capacity for sustainable land management. The study highlights how this dual-knowledge framework can be a powerful tool for conservation and restoration efforts in UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
