Care for country campaign.(DISPATCHES FROM THE FIELD: ACF CAMPAIGN UPDATES)(Conference notes)
In November 2008, Andrew Picone, from ACF's Northern Australia Program (NAP), and I attended the inaugural Australian Protected Areas Conference (APAC) on the Sunshine Coast, organised by the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and supported by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
There were a number of sessions on protected areas management but of particular interest to many participants working in Northern Australia was a presentation by Larry Innes entitled 'Building a Big Vision: the Canadian Boreal Initiative'. This a huge-scale landscape project of interconnected protected areas across the boreal forests of Canada, which resulted in the protection of a massive 100 million acres of forest.
At the core of the Boreal Initiative's success is its effort to support First Nations-led conservation and land use planning activities. Demographically, far northern Canada and northern Australia have much in common: relatively low population levels dominated by aboriginal peoples with strong connections to their traditional lands and culture, and a large, intact, biologically diverse landscape.
