Another successful Fire Forum - ISFMI Silver Sponsor

Forum daily wrap video

The 2025 North Australia Savanna Fire Forum: Delivering results for people and planet, was yet the largest forum and a big success, with attendees from 110 different organisations, with all states and territories represented and an international contingent from Brazil, Botswana and Zambia.

A statement was developed with ICIN members based on themes highlighted during the event. This statement was distributed to media, presented by MC Cissy Gore-Birch at the Forum's closing (pictured above) and published on our website. Central to this document is a recognition that the savanna fire management space is an Indigenous-led space, as Indigenous people have been using fire to manage Country for tens of thousands of years. The statement highlights the importance of prioritising Indigenous rights and interests to carbon (Indigenous people hold rights and interests to over 70% of land and 66% of the coastline across Australia) and that carbon projects must be formed on the principles of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC).
