Historical and contemporary Indigenous wetland management influences wetland ecological character and conservation in ways not well recognised by western science and mainstream natural resource management. For example, the Australian government funds Aboriginal-led management of traditional lands, but Aboriginal knowledge is rarely enabled to critique, enrich or provide alternatives to conventional wetland management theory and practice. Emerging processes like the Multiple Evidence Base approach aim to foster synergies across different knowledge systems to enrich understanding of, and solutions for, environmental challenges. A starting point for such negotiations is the mobilisation of each knowledge base to foster mutual comprehension of shared knowledge around a subject. To assist in mobilising Aboriginal knowledge around wetland ecosystem management, we offer a case study of related Aboriginal beliefs, knowledge and practice. Based on oral histories and ongoing expressions, wetland management practices undertaken by two Kimberley Aboriginal groups in northern Western Australia form this article’s focus. We describe how and why these groups manage or rehabilitate wetlands, reflecting on ecosystem generation and conservation, and convergences or divergences with western science. We also identify barriers to the mobilisation of Aboriginal knowledge systems within contemporary land management programs, and opportunities to better foster Multiple Evidence Base negotiations.

“把他清理干净……让他看起来像以前一样”:澳大利亚对湿地的原住民管理,对保护,恢复和基于多种证据的谈判具有启示意义

历史和当代土著湿地管理以西方科学和主流自然资源管理尚未充分认识的方式影响湿地的生态特征和保护。例如,澳大利亚政府为土著人主导的传统土地管理提供资金,但土著知识很少能够批评,丰富或提供传统湿地管理理论和实践的替代方法。诸如多重证据基础方法之类的新兴过程旨在促进跨不同知识系统的协同作用,以丰富对环境挑战的理解和解决方案。进行此类谈判的起点是动员每个知识库,以促进围绕一个主题的共享知识的相互理解。为了帮助围绕湿地生态系统管理动员原住民知识,我们提供了有关原住民信仰,知识和实践的案例研究。根据口述历史和持续的表达,西澳大利亚州北部的两个金伯利原住民组织采取的湿地管理实践构成了本文的重点。我们将描述这些群体如何以及为什么管理或恢复湿地,以反思生态系统的产生和保护以及与西方科学的融合或分歧。我们还确定了当代土地管理计划中动员土著知识系统的障碍,以及更好地促进多元证据基础谈判的机会。西澳大利亚州北部的两个金伯利原住民团体采取的湿地管理做法构成了本文的重点。我们将描述这些群体如何以及为什么管理或恢复湿地,以反思生态系统的产生和保护以及与西方科学的融合或分歧。我们还确定了在当代土地管理计划中动员土著知识系统的障碍,以及更好地促进多元证据基础谈判的机会。西澳大利亚州北部的两个金伯利原住民团体采取的湿地管理做法构成了本文的重点。我们描述了这些群体如何以及为什么管理或恢复湿地,并反思了生态系统的产生和保护以及与西方科学的融合或分歧。我们还确定了在当代土地管理计划中动员土著知识系统的障碍,以及更好地促进多元证据基础谈判的机会。
