A First Nations approach to addressing climate change—Assessing interrelated key values to identify and address adaptive management for country
The Yuku-Baja-Muliku (YBM) people are the Traditional Owners (First Nation People) of the land and sea country around Archer Point, in North Queensland, Australia. Our people are increasingly recognizing climate-driven changes to our cultural values and how these impact on the timing of events mappe...
