This year, in an exciting first, ICIN co-located the SFF with the NICF, reflecting the industry’s growth and level of interest in the carbon industry from Indigenous groups across Australia.
The Forum was held in partnership with Charles Darwin University (CDU), a partnership that reflects the history of this event, which was launched by the CDU Centre for Bushfire Research in 2019 along with North Australia & Rangelands Fire Information (NAFI), and has been hosted annually by ICIN with support from CDU since 2020.
The SFF is a well-established event that supports Indigenous leadership in savanna fire management, fosters knowledge sharing and promotes best practice. The NICF addresses broader carbon methods beyond savanna fire management relevant to Indigenous proponents, highlights Indigenous rights and interests in carbon across Australia, and supports opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to actively manage their Country.
