About the Forum

The Savanna Fire Forum is Australia's premier event for Indigenous leadership in savanna fire management. It provides a vital space to foster deep knowledge sharing, celebrate successes, and promote world-class best practices.

Event history 

The Forum was originally launched in 2019 by the Charles Darwin University (CDU) Centre for Bushfire Research alongside North Australia & Rangelands Fire Information (NAFI). Since 2020, the event has been proudly hosted annually by ICIN with ongoing programmatic support from CDU. This partnership reflects the rich history and collaborative spirit of the event.

The 2027 Savanna Fire Forum is made possible by these organisations.

Please take a look at our previous years

We asked 2026 Forum delegates about their favourite part. Here's what they said:

The youth yarning session was one of the best one for me alot of Indigenous and non Indigenous and also myself for sharing my journey on how i became a Ranger Coordinator."

The incredible work going on in the ranger teams that is also at the forefront of technology and testing new tools and systems."

The stories shared, the new market opportunities and developments by governments, Indigenous organisations and researchers."

Networking was the key highlight. Presentations that inspired discussion. Organisation report backs reinforce some of the key attributes to a successful fire program."

There is a huge amount of positive work being done in the northern savannahs to manage carbon, improve land management and benefit communities. This vital work should be publicised more in the mainstream Australian media."
