Support for the Indigenous knowledge Bilby Festival

This project will support the Indigenous Bilby Knowledge Festival scheduled for 20-24 June 2016. The core aim of the festival is to build a shared understanding of management actions achievable on Aboriginal lands, the training and resources required for effective programs and the key knowledge gaps. The event will be held in core bilby habitat on the Kiwirrkurra Indigenous Protected Area in the Gibson Desert. The festival will produce a framework for effective, collaborative management of wild bilby populations across the Australian deserts. It will draw on existing and developing partnerships between Aboriginal land managers, scientists and research institutions, with key experts contributing to the program
