“…In Australia, Aboriginal prescribed bodies hold 33% of the Australian land mass under native title (Altman and Biddle 2015), and globally 24% of land is regarded as First Nations territories (United Nations 2008). Access to land provides potential for income-generating activities, such as carbon abatement, environmental services, control of invasive species, as well as aquaculture and agriculture (Concu 2012;Altman and Biddle 2015;Weir and Duff 2017). Carefully developed tourism, native food businesses and land management balance commerce with the preservation of traditional knowledge, art and sacred places (Concu 2012;Ruhanen et al 2015;Logue et al 2018).…”

A more contentious use of traditional lands is in the extractive industries, where First Nations entities have experienced mixed success in exercising their authority over land use (O'Faircheallaigh 2008;Barber and Jackson 2012;Marsh 2013;Haalboom 2014;O'Faircheallaigh 2015;Apoh et al 2017;Carson et al 2018;Howlett and Lawrence 2019;Guevara et al 2020;Holcombe and Kemp 2020;Kaur and Qian 2021).…”

This paper presents a synthesis of academic research focused on First Nations peoples, contrasting First Nations versus non-Indigenous understandings of accounting and accountability. Key themes and trends in past research are identified across 51 publications spanning four decades, and directions for future research are proposed. The need for more culturally responsive accounting is well established, and past studies highlight the inadequacies of reporting practices which do not appear to capture the priorities and nuances of First Nations entities. The focus and execution of accounting research is shifting towards more contemporary experiences with accounting, and the contribution of First Nations worldviews to advances in non-financial reporting. This paper systematically explains the inadequacies of contemporary reporting practices and encourages the accounting community to reflect on future opportunities. It is therefore relevant to both academics and practitioners seeking to uphold the rights of First Nations peoples to self-determination in line with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Further work is urgently required to ensure First Nations organisations are adequately supported in their reporting practices, to incorporate traditional knowledges and to achieve positive outcomes for their communities.

“…Floodplains provide multiple ecosystem services, including biodiversity support, water quality improvement, flood abatement and carbon management (Zedler and Kercher 2005) and so there may be further potential to access markets through livelihood activities managing the floodplain to support the provision of these services. In northern Australia PES has been recognized as a mechanism for achieving Indigenous aspirations, including funding the work of Land and Sea Ranger groups (Muller 2008;Whitehead et al 2009;Gorman and Vemuri 2010;Altman 2012;Concu 2013;Greiner and Stanley 2013) and engaging with the carbon economy (e.g. Whitehead et al 2009;Robinson et al 2014).…”

Maintaining customary harvesting of freshwater resources: sustainable Indigenous livelihoods in the floodplains of northern Australia

Freshwater resources underpin multiple livelihood systems around the world, particularly in highly productive tropical floodplain regions. Sustaining Indigenous people's access to freshwater resources for customary harvesting, while developing alternative livelihood strategies can be challenging. The sustainable livelihoods approach was applied to examine the ways in which multiple livelihoods in the East Alligator River floodplain region in northern Australia influence Aboriginal people's access to freshwater resources for customary harvesting. Interviews with Aboriginal residents were conducted to understand changes to freshwater customary harvesting practices. The dominant floodplain-based livelihoods analysed were pastoralism, biodiversity conservation and tourism and they were found to generate both opportunities and constraints for sustaining freshwater customary harvesting. Opportunities were provided through facilitating regular access to floodplain country and opportunistic access for harvesting, which assists in sustaining bio-cultural knowledge. Partnerships developed through these mainstream livelihoods built human capacity that enhanced all livelihood resource capitals (natural, human, social, financial and physical). Three key ways the dominant livelihoods constrained access to key freshwater resources were identified. Tourism required sacrificing certain hunting places and had to accommodate recreational fishing pressure. The successful recovery of the saltwater crocodile population through biodiversity conservation policy has inadvertently reduced people's customary access to in-stream resources. Pastoralism on the floodplain had restricted traditional floodplain burning practices associated with accessing aestivating long-necked turtles, affecting access and abundance. These findings highlight the need for the development of remote Indigenous livelihood strategies to make explicit their influences on freshwater customary harvesting practices, to better support their maintenance amongst multiple, noncustomary floodplain livelihoods.

“…For the first time in 2006, the National State of the Environment (SOE) report considered through selected case studies environmental management by Indigenous peoples (Brown et al 2006). Recent research into the investment in ILSM (Berry et al 2010;Wilson, Edwards, and Smits 2010;Concu 2012;Social Ventures Australia 2016a, 2016b, 2016cAustin et al 2018) has demonstrated a substantial number of environmental benefits including: increased levels of activity in border protection, quarantine, fire management, wildfire abatement, carbon sequestration and trading, weed control, feral animal control, biodiversity conservation and fisheries management, generating benefits both for Indigenous peoples and the wider Australian society. Furthermore, improved environmental condition of land and sea under Indigenous management, and restoration of wetlands and water resource management have been described, with one study reporting lower rates of weed infestation, and healthier fire regimes for maintaining biodiversity values than in adjacent protected areas.…”
