The Australian environment as we see it today is a reflection of historical and ongoing interactions between its peoples, their actions and knowledge base. Recent management of the Australian environment has been largely underpinned by western science. This dominance however, is being challenged both theoretically and practically by the acceptance of a more holistic and integrated approach to managing land, water and resources. This unit explores the current and emerging perspectives and knowledge that are influencing current management of Australian natural and cultural environments. -- Course Website
