Figures & data
Figure 1. Map of lands across Australia where First Peoples' land management is recognised through formal processes including Native title determinations, Indigenous protected areas (IPA) and various types of management and co-management arrangements. Spatial data on Native title determinations from the National Native Title Tribunal (Citation2023); on Indigenous freehold, other special rights and Indigenous management from Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (Citation2020); and for the overlay of Indigenous protected areas from Commonwealth of Australia (Citation2023).
Figure 2. The extent to which the ranges of Australian imperilled bird taxa intersect with the Country of First Peoples’ groups: (a) number of groups for each threatened bird taxa; (b) number of taxa for each group.
Table 1. First Peoples’ groups whose Country now supports the entire terrestrial range of a threatened bird taxon within Australia. Names and extinction risk of the taxa (International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List status, as given in Garnett and Baker Citation2021; see Supplementary Table S2 for details).
Table 2. Threatened Australian bird taxa occurring on Country of ≥ 50 First Peoples, the number of groups and the extinction risk of the taxa (International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List status, as given in Garnett and Baker Citation2021).
Figure 3. Percentage of total threat load to Australian imperilled birds on Country of First Peoples, and other lands within Australian territory from which First Peoples were absent when colonisation occurred (mostly oceanic islands), the knowledge needs and the need for management across seven threat classes (from Kearney et al. Citation2023).
Figure 4. Opportunities to improve the monitoring of imperilled birds living on Country of First Peoples in Australia. Bars show the current quality of data collection across 10 monitoring metrics (data from Verdon et al. Citation2024).
