The Malu Kiai Rangers, Malu Ki’ai Corporation and Torres Strait Regional Authority’s Traditional Ecological Knowledge team recently launched the Bio-Cultural Landscape Profiles of Boigu Island – capturing traditional language and ecological knowledge for future generations.
TSRA Chairperson Napau Pedro Stephen said, “The Bio-Cultural Landscape Profiles are testament to the deep connection between the people of Boigu Island and their environment.”
“This has been a three-year long project, led by a comprehensive flora and fauna survey which documented native wildlife and cultural elements such as star constellations, moon phases, and wind directions” he said.
