Josie Alec, Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) First Nations Lead, talking about the Global Nature Positive Summit 2024 First Nations Statement. Nature Positive may sound like a new concept, but First Peoples have been nature-positive for millennia. We call it caring for Country. Whether it’s land, sea or sky, caring for Country has been part of our stories and songlines for generations. It’s driven by one simple principle: leaving Country better than you found it. On countless occasions, the world has seen the social and economic good that comes when indigenous peoples are supported to care for Country. To have Healthy Country, we must invest in it. We must provide First Peoples the resources and cultural authority they need to revitalise their Knowledge and practices on Country. Indigenous voices are vital to the success of nature-positive initiatives in Australia and globally. We must all commit to First Peoples being engaged in the nature-positive agenda and nature law reforms right from the start.
