Indigenous+Australian+Land+Management+Practices

=The Land Management Practices of Indigenous Australians = ===For the Aboriginal people the land is very important for them as it is their faith, ancestors and life support. For tens of thousands of years, the Aboriginal people have lived on the land, being provided with every need. The land cared for them so the cared for the land back by not over hunting and gathering and moved around (nomadic) so as to let the plants and animals regenerate in different areas.=== === __European Influence__ Before the First Fleet arrived, the land was healthy and well cared for. They introduced new species that the land and native animals weren't used to and introduced and feral animals fought for domination in the food chain. They also brought plant species that infested native plants and habitats.=== === __Erosion__ There as also been erosion that has contributed to the depletion of Aboriginal resources. One factor that has influence erosion is the roadmaking. As the population f Australia incrases so does the need for roads. Native Australian animals have lost their habitats and therfore their numbers have declined. ===
