Biological invasions on Indigenous peoples’ lands

Indigenous peoples' land (ILP) host fewer alien invasive species relative to other lands, even if controlling for sampling intensity and other confounding factors. A likely factor are differences in land management practices. ILP and their management practices are hence important to protect nature.

Biological invasions on Indigenous peoples’ lands - Nature Sustainability

Indigenous peoples’ lands (IPLs) are important reservoirs of biodiversity; however, the extent to which these lands are affected by the growing number of biological invasions worldwide is still unknown. This study evaluates whether IPLs harbour fewer alien species compared with other lands globally.

Most freight in the US is by train and only the Last Mile is by trucks and vans.
Some of our leaders are
emulating the bad things about the US. Some are trying to emulate the good things, but are hitting political road blocks (or literal rail blockages).

It will be interesting to see what the current bushfires in Pilliga State Forest near Narrabri will affect Inland Rail.

Indigenous rangers are burning the desert the right way – to stop the wrong kind of intense fires from raging

Deserts in Australia burn – and burn big – if fuel is left to build up. But this year, Indigenous rangers across the deserts have burned huge tracts early to make Country healthier.
