Australia to share Indigenous fire management expertise

Today we announce a project to share world-leading fire management expertise developed by Indigenous Australians to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve land management outcomes in Botswana.

The Traditional Fire Management project will improve savanna fire management and help the Government of Botswana develop emissions measuring techniques. Botswana's Okavango-Zambezi region is among the most affected areas in the world by savanna fires, which destroy infrastructure, stagnate economic productivity and emit large amounts of greenhouse gases.
