Australian Aboriginal people manage close to half of the country’s protected areas. Of growing importance within this industry is the development of management and monitoring methods that capture local-cultural perspectives of ecosystem health and measures of management effectiveness. This research presents an example of a collaborative approach to support Kimberley Indigenous Ranger groups to plan and implement wetland monitoring using a multiple evidence base of Indigenous knowledge systems and University-based sciences. Acknowledging that Kimberley wetlands are key ecosystems from a conservation perspective and interlinked with Kimberley Traditional Owner ways of knowing, being and doing, the monitoring seeks to answer questions generated by each group’s concerns, practices and knowledge. Collaborating agencies include The University of Western Australia (UWA) and Broome-based NGO, Environs Kimberley (EK), along with six Kimberley Indigenous Ranger groups including the Bardi Jawi, Nyul Nyul, Yawuru, Karajarri, Bunuba and Ngurrara Rangers. Collaboration between the non-Indigenous agencies and each Indigenous Ranger group is based within the Ranger group’s existing management framework of ‘Healthy Country’ work, which uses Conservation Action Planning (CAP) standards. Within this Healthy Country framework, and with a focus on social science methods, the non-Indigenous agencies have helped each Indigenous Ranger group to develop wetland monitoring programs that are informed by Indigenous knowledge systems and draw on scientific methods as needed. We will present several case studies including demonstrating how the monitoring includes Indigenous perspectives of biophysical indicators and the quality of human - wetland relationships, providing an integrated measure of long-term change and on-ground management effectiveness.
