This module was created for the Cross-cultural Biodiversity Surveys, based at Macquarie University, Department of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. The project is based on a unique collaboration between scientists from Macquarie University and Aboriginal people in order to document, monitor and assess the cross-culture biodiversity in remote areas of New South Wales, with potential nationwide applications.
This module was co-developed by Dr Emilie Ens at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University and Petra Janouchova at the FAIMS Project, Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University.
Development of this module was funded by the Research Attraction and Acceleration Program (RAAP) NSW Department of Industry 16805/00, aimed to support innovation and investment in the New South Wales in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
