‘They are not predators
Open AccessRocío Almuna, Cristina E Ramalho et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026
Human–predator coexistence presents urgent conservation challenges that demand approaches extending beyond mere conflict mitigation. Indigenous knowledge systems, though historically marginalised by Western science, offer vital insights into ethical, sustainable relationships with nature. This study examines how the Noongar people of southwestern Australia relate to culturally significant predators— Waalitj (wedge‐tailed eagle) and Twert (dingo)—…
Global perspectives, local solutions
Open AccessRocío Almuna, Cristina E Ramalho et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025
Human–predator coexistence is a complex and dynamic relationship influenced by a variety of social–ecological factors. Recognising conflict as an inherent aspect of coexistence, rather than merely a problem to be solved, is crucial. This literature review examines how a range of factors contributes to human coexistence with predators. A systematic review of 76 peer‐reviewed articles from 33 countries provides valuable insights into the complexiti…
Remnant peat deposit provides clues to the inundated cultural landscapes of Kepa Kurl, southwestern Australia
Open AccessIan Ward, Tjaltjraak Healthy Country Program Team et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2023Citada por: 2Referências: 3
In early 2021 several tree stumps embedded in a remnant peat deposit were found in the intertidal zone of Wharton Beach, southwestern Australia by Esperance Tjaltjraak Rangers. Attempts were made to identify the tree using both dendrochronological and anthracological methods but were limited by the lack of reference information from tree species in the southwestern Australia. Radiocarbon dates from one stump indicates the tree lived for approxima…
Overview and Investigation of Australian Aboriginal Lizard Traps
Open AccessSusie Cramp, Sheila Murray et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2022
Landscape management by First Nations Peoples often involves sustainably enhancing environments to increase availability of resources. Granite outcrops, globally, can exhibit such modifications. Propped-up rock slabs constructed by First Nations Peoples for catching reptiles (lizard traps) are a widespread, overlooked, and threatened cultural component of granites of the Southwest Australian Floristic Region. Our team, which includes three Mernin…
Indigenous Knowledge, Aspiration, and Potential Application in Contemporary Fire Mitigation in Southwest Australia
Open AccessUrsula Rodrigues, Alison Lullfitz et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2022
Protection of biodiversity, human assets, and cultural heritage pose significant challenges to contemporary planning of bushfire mitigation activities. Current mitigation approaches are not always appropriate, and mismanagement is a source of distress for Indigenous peoples. Increased understanding of Indigenous fire knowledge and increased Indigenous participation may provide insight into more appropriate and inclusive land management for fire m…

Human Niche Construction
Open AccessAlison Lullfitz, Joe Dortch et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2017Citada por: 4Referências: 12
Through a lens of Human Niche Construction theory, we examine Noongar (an indigenous people of south Western Australia) relationships with southWestern Australian flora and suggest influences of these relationships on contemporary botanical patterns in this global biodiversity hotspot. By conducting a review of historical and contemporary literature and drawing upon the contemporary knowledge of Noongar Elders, we examine the merits of five key h…
