Abstract

Indigenous knowledge is recognised globally for its potential value in contemporary biodiversity conservation, management and research (Convention on Biological Diversity 2010; NRMMC 2010). In tropical Australia, Indigenous peoples' strong and diverse presence on country presents an important opportunity to support Indigenous knowledge and management systems. In November 20 I 0, we held a workshop in Cairns to consider whether a tropical Indigenous ethnobotany centre would be a good way of supporting Indigenous peoples' knowledge about the cultural values of plants.
