Plants are the foundation of life on Earth. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have always known this to be true.?For millennia, reciprocal relationships with plants have provided both sustenance to First Nations?communities and many of the materials needed to produce a complex array of technologies. Managed through fire and selective harvesting and replanting, the longevity and intricacy of these partnerships are testament to the ingenuity and depth of First Nations?first knowledges.
Plants: Past, Present and Future?celebrates the deep cultural significance of plants and shows how engaging with this heritage could be the key to a healthier, more sustainable future.
