SUMMARY:Atlas of Living Australia Webinar: Understanding Australian Biodiversity with Technology
DESCRIPTION:As a mega-diverse continent\, Australia is home to hundreds of thousands of species\, with more being discovered every year. Despite this\, Australia faces one of the highest species extinction rates\, meaning that innovative methods to detect and understand our biodiversity are becoming increasingly important. \nAdvancing technologies like genomics\, imaging\, ecoaccoustics\, camera trapping\, artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing the way that researchers and policymakers respond to climate risks\, species conservation and protection\, biosecurity and decision-making. In this webinar hosted by the Atlas of Living Australia\, hear from three groups discuss how they’ve used next-generation technology to support Australian biodiversity research. \n\n\n\n\nMonday 3 Jun 2024\nOnline virtual event \n11.00am to 12.00pm AEST \nLogin details will be emailed to registrants

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cultural Licence to Operate in the Blue Economy
DESCRIPTION:Flipping the script for Industry to consider the competitive advantage of working directly alongside First Nations through changing the formula of corporate responsibility in a more legitimised and objective way. \nUnlocking the Blue Economy through an inclusive and equitable approach does not happen by chance.  As governments\, investors\, rightsholders and stakeholders look to the sea as the next economic frontier\, there is a renewed focus on ensuring a balanced approach to developing and managing ocean resources through cross-disciplinary engagement. \nThe presentation and video will explore outcomes from a trans-Tasman scoping project funded to build a Cultural Licence to Operate framework that helps to create the ecosystem for an ethical\, equitable\, dynamic\, and responsive system in which negotiations are customised at place. This Indigenous-led study set out to strengthen the guiding tracks and transparency for shifting out from a transactional way to engage with First Nations through “keeping up an appearance” to building and maintaining a relational way of maximising co-benefits.
