This conference will also launch the new Kakadu National Park research strategy. Putting Traditional Owner perspective first in co-management. How to "hand back" land that's always been Aboriginal land, regardless of conservation scheme. @iccb2025.bsky.social #ICCB25

A whirlwind of talks and info in this session! Big takeaways: conservation law/policy needs to be applied in social/econ context, can't inadvertently aid "greenwashing", planning for ongoing funding pools outside of govt cycles vital to Indigenous projects, etc. @iccb2025.bsky.social #ICCB25

Very interesting session overall - diverse topics and species, a decent balance of case studies/practical examples of controls vs modelling. Not being in this field, I could still learn much. Great! @iccb2025.bsky.social #ICCB25

Debra AKF: We're not winning the battle to save the environment, industry is. Koala Protection Act needed. 10yrs old - not touched yet. Ecocide a reality - laws need to come in ASAP. Gotta keep speaking truth to power. Govt false care behind "deals" falls short. @iccb2025.bsky.social #ICCB25
