National Landcare Council
Bruce Lloyd, chairman of the Australian Landcare Council says that after attending this conference he has realised that there are a number of issues he will need to take back to national natural resource management leaders.
"There are obviously problems of inclusion of Aboriginal people in rangelands natural resource management and I will be taking that up There are questions of ways of improving access for Aboriginal groups for all of this extra funding - there's a lot of it now, the Envirofund, the water fund and the national landcare program - and they should be getting their fair share of these. They obviously aren't getting their fair share and that's an issue," he said.
Mr Lloyd also said that he would be continuing his push for a national landcare conference.
"I have no doubt that, as a result of this conference, there will be a National Landcare Conference next year and I hope from this there will be an Indigenous stream which will at least provide some continuity in providing indigenous involvement in natural resource management."
"Congratulations to the CLC because it needed somebody to have the initiative and the organising ability and that has obviously come through well.
"I think it is tremendous because I have never seen such a congregation of Aboriginal people from all around Australia before and to listen to the experience and to what people are doing right throughout Australia is not just good for me, but for all of us here because it gives great encouragement to people about what is being done, and what can be done, by just working collectively," he said.
