Throughout my career working with Indigenous People in consevation, I’ve often witnessed a recurring issue: Indigenous communities are sometimes the last to be consulted in decision-making processes. Rather than being fully engaged from the start, they are too often presented with plans that have already been developed. It's time for a shift toward genuine, participatory approaches like Healthy Country Planning here in Australia, which put community voices and aspirations at the forefront - ensuring long-lasting conservation impact. #Conservation #Indigenous #HealthyCountryPlanning #CommunityEngagement #30x30
