Victor Garlngarr and Barbara Gurwalwal: Caring for Country in the Warddeken Indigenous Protected Area, Arnhem Land

Abstract

The outcome is a proposed Indigenous-driven ethnobotany centre to be progressed in partnership with local western scientific institutions. Although focusing on tropical areas of Australia, it may well provide a model for other parts of the country. Completing the issue is an article (pages 26-28) summarising some of the key plant conservation outcomes from the 10 th Conference of the Parties (COP10) to the Convention on Biological Diversity held in October 2010 in Japan, and an update on ANPC in the Emilie Ens has worked with Victor and Barbara at Kabulwarnamyo since 2008, carrying out participatory ecological research projects and developing land management approaches that draw on both Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge systems. Gill Towler joined the project in 2009 and Sam Bentley-Toon became a research assistant in 2010. USA (pages 28-29). The issue concludes with regular items: research roundup, two book reviews, useful information resources, and conferences and workshops. This is my last issue as Editor of Australasian Plant Conservation; Selga Harrington will be taking over from issue 20(1). My thanks to past and present ANPC staff and Committee members who have helped ensure each issue appears on time. My thanks also to all those who have contributed articles over the last three years; keep them flowing in, and enjoy reading this issue.
