Abstract

Globally, there is growing interest and potential for investment in Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to protect, manage or restore ecosystems through incentive schemes including Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), Nature Repair, Carbon Markets, Common Asset Trusts. Collectively, these NbS markets establish interchangeable mechanisms to help address biodiversity and climate crises, as well as socio-economic issues concerning many Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs). IPLCs manage and/or own almost 32% of the world’s land area through customary and community-based tenure arrangements. Since 2000 several PES schemes have been implemented in Australia. These schemes have been overwhelmingly implemented as public-good expenditure, with governments providing ~90% of total funding. Indigenous people have either the legal right to run or veto a carbon market or nature repair project over 57% of the Australian land mass, increasing to 63% in savanna and 85% in desert regions. Here we critically assess opportunities and challenges for Australia’s Indigenous estate associated with existing and emerging NbS market approaches, especially the Commonwealth’s current Savanna Fire Management (SFM) and Human Induced Regeneration methods, evolving Integrated Farm & Land Management (IFLM) and Blue Carbon methods, and proposed Nature Repair (NR) market. To date, Indigenous NbS interests have focused especially on SFM across northern Australia, with prospective opportunities especially for IFLM and NR markets. Most available schemes focus on remediation of degraded lands and seas, ignoring cost-effective investment opportunities to maintain habitats and ecosystems in less-degraded condition. Government-supported Common Asset Trusts can provide effective models for governance of stewardship schemes relevant to on-going care for relatively intact ecosystems. In Discussion we summarise key methodological, institutional, and policy opportunities and challenges for constructive Indigenous engagement with developing NbS markets. Our purpose is to provide an Indigenous land and sea management context to inform development of rapidly evolving NbS markets in Australia.

2024 年澳大利亚土著遗产基于自然的解决方案的演变--机遇与挑战
在全球范围内,通过生态系统服务补偿 (PES)、自然修复、碳市场、共同资产信托等激励计划,对基于自然的解决方案 (NbS) 进行投资以保护、管理或恢复生态系统的兴趣和潜力与日俱增。总体而言,这些 NbS 市场建立了可互换的机制,以帮助解决生物多样性和气候危机,以及涉及许多土著人民和地方社区 (IPLC) 的社会经济问题。IPLCs 通过习惯和社区保有权安排管理和/或拥有全球近 32% 的土地面积。自 2000 年以来,澳大利亚已实施了多项生态系统服务补偿计划。这些计划绝大多数是作为公益支出实施的,政府提供的资金约占总资金的 90%。在澳大利亚 57% 的土地上,原住民拥有管理或否决碳市场或自然修复项目的合法权利,在热带稀树草原和沙漠地区,这一比例分别增加到 63% 和 85%。在此,我们将批判性地评估与现有和新兴 NbS 市场方法相关的澳大利亚土著产业所面临的机遇和挑战,尤其是联邦目前的热带稀树草原防火管理(SFM)和人类诱导再生方法、不断发展的综合农场& 土地管理(IFLM)和蓝碳方法,以及拟议中的自然修复(NR)市场。迄今为止,土著 NbS 的兴趣主要集中在澳大利亚北部的可持续森林管理方面,特别是在 IFLM 和 NR 市场上,土著 NbS 具有广阔的发展前景。大多数现有计划都侧重于退化土地和海洋的修复,而忽视了将生境和生态系统维持在较低退化程度的成本效益投资机会。政府支持的共同资产信托基金可为与持续保护相对完整的生态系统相关的管理计划提供有效的管理模式。在讨论中,我们总结了土著居民建设性地参与开发 NbS 市场的主要方法、制度和政策机遇与挑战。我们的目的是为澳大利亚快速发展的 NbS 市场的发展提供土著土地和海洋管理背景信息。

期刊介绍: The Rangeland Journal publishes original work that makes a significant contribution to understanding the biophysical, social, cultural, economic, and policy influences affecting rangeland use and management throughout the world. Rangelands are defined broadly and include all those environments where natural ecological processes predominate, and where values and benefits are based primarily on natural resources. Articles may present the results of original research, contributions to theory or new conclusions reached from the review of a topic. Their structure need not conform to that of standard scientific articles but writing style must be clear and concise. All material presented must be well documented, critically analysed and objectively presented. All papers are peer-reviewed. The Rangeland Journal is published on behalf of the Australian Rangeland Society.
