Indigenous people and climate change: With Aboriginal Australians when the bush burns (3/4)

Issued on: Modified:

FRANCE 24 brings you the stories of the people who are on the front lines of climate change. From Kenya to Panama via Greenland and Australia, our reporters James André and Achraf Abid went to meet the Indigenous people who live in harmony with nature and whose daily lives are being turned upside down by global warming. Don't miss our series of four special reports. In this third episode, we take you to Australia.

It's June 2023, which means it's bushfire season in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. For generations, the Aboriginal Australians who live there have used the technique of fire to better control their harvests and prevent massive bushfires. After the country was ravaged by wildfires in 2019-2020, Australian authorities are now looking closely into these ancestral methods to help control the consequences of heat and drought in the country.
