It’s hoped a world-first map recording Aboriginal knowledge will give Australian researchers and landholders a greater understanding of the environment.
The online map, curated by the Indigenous Biocultural Knowledge working group, aims to convert ancient oral knowledge about Australia into an accessible visual and literary format.
Griffith University anthropologist and ethnobiologist Dr Philip Clarke, who was a participant in the working group, says the map will help researchers access little-known Indigenous biocultural knowledge.
