“…States will need to create widereaching enabling conditions, by upholding customary land tenure, leadership, and livelihoods. It is perhaps unsurprising that the most extensive existing programs to support/restore Indigenous fire management are in Australia, the USA, and Canada, all settler-colonial contexts with strong Indigenous social movements, where the rights of Indigenous peoples to customary land tenure and land use are increasingly recognized, and Indigeneity increasingly holds political capital (Ansell et al 2020, Marks-Block et al 2021, Nikolakis and Ross 2022, Neale 2023.…”

Fire has cultural and economic significance for Indigenous and rural peoples worldwide, being used to manage landscapes for activities such as hunting, gathering, cropping, and forestry, and for ceremonial and spiritual purposes. Policy interventions by state and non-state organizations, such as regulations, economic incentives, and communication campaigns, can target fire use directly, or affect it indirectly, for example, by restricting land access. Yet evidence of such impacts has not been synthesized at the global scale. We analyzed 512 examples in 68 countries to describe the range of policy interventions by state and non-state organizations that target and/or affect fire use, categorizing interventions based on the broad actor types involved, their mode of operation (e.g., regulation) and their intentionality and/or possible effects vis-a-vis fire use. Of these interventions, 74% involved only state agencies in policy design and implementations, 4% involved only non-state organizations, and 18% involved collaboration between state and/or non-state organizations and/or communities. Three hundred and nine interventions directly targeted fire use, of which 87% aimed to eliminate or constrain fire use. Two hundred and three affected fire use indirectly, of which 88% led to reductions in or constraints upon fire use.Though there is some recognition in the 21st century of a need, in certain contexts, to support local fire use, for reasons related to environmental justice, ecology, wildfire risk and climate change, the literature we reviewed points to several challenges for contemporary efforts toward this end. These include contradictions between policy interventions, mistrust between actors following histories of fire suppression, greater fuel loads increasing the risk of burning where fire has been suppressed, and the need to consider the indirect effects of other types of policy, such as those related to land tenure.

“…Knowledge of the natural environment is acquired either through scientific research or through experiences of Indigenous and local people (Mercer et al 2010). While the former is a well-established field that uses scientific tools and methodology, the latter lacks a concise definition (Neale 2022). Other popular terms for Indigenous knowledge are local knowledge, folk knowledge, cultural knowledge, popular knowledge, traditional knowledge, traditional environmental knowledge, Indigenous technical knowledge, and Indigenous ecological knowledge (Sillitoe 1998;Mercer et al 2010).…”

“…by Tasmanian Aboriginal author BrucePascoe (2014), which has won many book awards and has been adapted into a stage show and television series. However, Aboriginal authors and public intellectuals like Bruce Pascoe have been subjected to continuing criticism and racist abuse over several years by right-wing media in Australia(Neale 2022).MacDonald (2008: 342) argues that "the English-speaking settler nations have refused to support the International Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2 and neo-liberalism, by putting an end to the welfare state in favour of the 'user pays' philosophy." Such an approach increases the marginalization of those already at the periphery, such as Indigenous peoples(MacDonald 2008).…”
