Last week, we had the honour of participating in an impactful event hosted by the Australasian Land & Groundwater Association (ALGA) that explored the crucial role of Traditional Owner engagement in contaminated land projects. Our own Tyler Whitmarsh shared valuable insights, highlighting our commitment to fostering meaningful partnerships and driving positive change. Tyler's reflections from the evening underscore the importance of this work: "Engaging with Traditional Owners is not just a step in the process—it's fundamental to achieving self-determination and healing Country. This event marks the beginning of a much larger conversation our sector needs to have about Traditional Owner values and engagement. At Nation Partners, we believe that forming genuine partnerships with Traditional Owners and Registered Aboriginal Parties is key to unlocking sustainable solutions. We're dedicated to opening doors and initiating conversations that pave the way for meaningful collaboration in this space." By integrating Traditional Owner perspectives into contaminated land management, we're not only addressing environmental challenges but also contributing to cultural preservation and community empowerment. We're excited to continue driving these important discussions and working alongside our clients and partners to create positive, lasting impacts. #firstnations #sustainability #impact #community

🛑STOP linking Indigenous Peoples to any other community. It is offensive. It is factually incorrect to lump us in with a population that does NOT hold our international rights. It is a mistake to imply local communities have equal status and rights to Indigenous Peoples. Only Indigenous Peoples require Free Prior and Informed Consent. No other group or community has this right or requirement. If you do not understand or know the difference ask. #carbon #biodiversity #restoration #conservation #carbonfinance #duediligence #fpic #IndigenousPeoples #selfdetermination #bestpractices #facts

This month, TP highlights a crucial but often overlooked dimension of peacebuilding: the intersection of violent conflict and the environment. At TP, we firmly believe that the environment plays a vital role in community life and resilience. It is important, therefore, that peacebuilding efforts account for the environment in the analysis, design, and implementation stages of peacebuilding interventions. By incorporating environmental considerations into peacebuilding efforts, we can foster sustainable peace and support the wellbeing of communities. #Peacebuilding #Environment #CommunityResilience
