Indigenous people and climate change: With Aboriginal Australians when the bush burns (3/4)

REPORTERS © FRANCE 24

FRANCE 24 brings you the stories of people on the front lines of climate change. From Kenya to Panama via Greenland and Australia, our reporters James André and Achraf Abid went to meet the Indigenous people who live in harmony with nature and whose daily lives are being turned upside down by global warming. Don't miss our series of four special reports. In this third episode, we take you to Australia.

It's June 2023, which means it's bushfire season in northern Australia's Arnhem Land. For generations, the Aboriginal Australians who live there have used fire as a technique to better control their harvests and prevent more massive bushfires. After the country was ravaged by wildfires in 2019 and 2020, Australian authorities are now looking closely into these ancestral methods to help control the consequences of heat and drought in the country.
