Carbon Farming Initiatives Gives Indigenous Australia Major Opportunities

The emergence of a domestic carbon trading scheme could enable Indigenous groups to participate more fully in reducing Australia’s emissions if Indigenous participation is followed through, says the North Australian Indigenous Land & Sea Management Alliance.

The North Australian Indigenous Land & Sea Management Alliance facilitates large scale initiatives across Northern Australia's wet/dry tropics and is committed to finding practical solutions to support people to manage their lands into the future. NAILSMA has led research into the first offset methodology released under the Carbon Farming Initiative.

Additionally Indigenous people across northern Australia have recovered large tracts of land and retain Native Title interests over approximately 80 per cent of the region.
