How Aboriginal Australians use fire to help the ecosystem | SLICE

[@libanwarsame5428]

In East Afrikan savanna, we also burn bushes so as to help the earth replenish itself with nutrients. The ash from the burnt grass fertilises the soil to produce more nutritious pasture.

​​@@thebuilder2018Both fire treatments increased soil moisture and organic matter, while reducing soil density. That means burning improved soil health overall. Do your research

[@colinheenan-puruntatameri782]

We started burning after the volcano went to sleep. Volcanic ash used to fertilize soils. So we burn to do what the volcanoes used to do. ​@@thebuilder2018

It’s true the Aboriginals were here first in Australia 🇦🇺 and know the land better than anyone else. I live here and I’m still amazed at how vast and big our dessert is! The narration you guys wrote about Australia seems a bit harsh! We are not experiencing daily climate issues. I’m sure the whole world is.

God bless these people. They've been killed off to the point of only making 3% of the Australian population and displaced. I admire them and detest the demons that put them in poverty. The original people of earth will rise up soon

[@henriknielsen9674]

Of course they're only 3%, new people arrived and made a society that could support more people. So 3% doesn't tell anything about how many of them were killed, but yeah there was a lot of killing back in the days. The true killer has always been new virus or bacteria, that's also the story for these people

This strategy is one of the major proposed extinction reasons for the Mega- Fauna after human habitation in Australia; but I agree it is an effective strategy for increasing food potential in an area but also modifies existing normal ecosystems

[@mattharcla]

Oh come on, there are far better forms of management. Also, the didge is an Arnhem Land instrument, only spread around other tribal populations in recent years.

[@michealedwards7849]

Wow, why just say BS like that , you have no idea.

[@henriknielsen9674]

@@tornadosirenwednesday no they don't, they just do what has always worked pretty much everywhere in the world. You burn an area, then move in and live there until you burn a new area and move there. It's about making fresh grass to attract animals AND to avoid your camp getting caught in a fire. They're not doing anything special or advanced and it wouldn't work for a city environment. We need to bring back forest management, because it's not climate changes that are killing people in those fires, it's the lack of managing the fuel laying everywhere!
