STAGE 3 – DIGITAL ACTIVITY
You’ve been tasked to be a conservation detective for the Nari Nari
Tribal Council. These traditional custodians are using modern and
ancient techniques to monitor and improve wildlife conservation,
water use and food production. Gayini is a vast 88,000 ha property
owned and managed by Nari Nari Tribal Council. With the notfor-pro昀椀t organisation The Nature Conservancy and tech company
Nearmap, they are using traditional land practices and technology
to better manage this important wildlife area that’s part of the
Murray Darling Basin.
Research a land management plan that uses digital technologies
to help the council manage this area. Create a presentation to
share with your class.
OTHER IDEAS
Research an Indigenous land management
practice, such as 昀椀re management, seed
collecting or 昀椀sh traps.
Associate Professor Bradley Moggridge
from the University of Canberra
and Brett Rowling from ANSTO
are Indigenous scientists who are
combining Indigenous knowledge with
advanced technologies to improve our
understanding of species survival in
water systems. Invite an Indigenous
person to speak with your class about
protecting species in nature.
Create a database of di昀昀erent plant
and animal species in your local area,
including their scienti昀椀c names,
common names and Indigenous names.
