'Sleeping' Indigenous burning technique awakens in Cape Hillsborough A practice that has helped care for land for more than 60,000 years returns to Yuwibara Country in north Queensland.

Is there evidence that #culturalburning has stayed the same for 60k years?

Indigenous people adapted techniques!

They may not have formally experimented but it's likely #Aboriginal people did what they felt like & repeated what worked.

A soft blue and green background with a faint image of saskatoon berries. Large text next to an image of a flame reads, "What is Cultural Burning?" Smaller text below reads, "Learn about how Indigenous Peoples use fire to revitalize the land."

A soft blue and green background with text that reads, "Indigenous Peoples across Canada have practiced cultural burning for millennia. Periodic, small-scale burns remove overgrowth and dry grass, creating space for new vegetation and improving conditions for wildlife—such as deer, who benefit from open spaces and clear sightlines. For many, this is a sacred practice." In the centre of the image is a photo of plants growing from ash-covered soil.

A soft blue and green background with text explaining that a history of fire suppression practices and bans on cultural burning are thought to have elevated the risk of severe, out-of-control wildfires, as well as contributed to mountain pine beetle infestations in Canada's Boreal Forest. Below the text is a photo of a low-intensity fire in a forest, leaving ash in its wake.

A photo of a small fire smoldering among leaves. Text within a yellow circle reads, "In the context of a warming climate, efforts to restore cultural burning practices are bringing both communities and traditional fire management practices back to the land."

Cultural burns can help restore populations of berries and medicine plants, keep traditional practices alive, and bring people together in connection with the land.
