LAW866: Indigenous Law and Natural Resource Management
This unit considers the international and national recognition of indigenous people's environmental and natural resource rights. The focus is on the implementation of these rights through negotiated legal frameworks such as joint management (co-management) primarily for conservation and for sustainable use of wildlife and fisheries, access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing, Australian Indigenous Land Use Agreements and modern treaties recognising the integrated rights of indigenous peoples such as the Regional Agreements under the Canadian comprehensive land claims processes.
