Sustainable Livelihoods and Protected Area Planning in PNG (Old ID 25083)
The Nakanai Ranges have been identified as a Key "Biodiversity Area due to their high density of endemic and range-restricted species of high conservation concern due to pressures of industrial logging and oil palm development. We aim to engage local communities in stewardship of world heritage through tangible conservation and livelihood benefits, acknowledging the causal relationship between heritage, local people and their well-being. Protection of primary rainforest in Nakanai will enable the continued flow of ecosystem services, such as the provision of clean water and the protection of soil resources.
Responding to Indigenous students' and their communities' voiced experiences regarding effective teaching practices: A Catholic Education initiative (Old ID 20664)
In response to the continued gap in achievement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, this project focuses on addressing the essential need for Australian-based empirically-grounded culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) research on teaching practices consistent with the voiced concerns of Indigenous students and the communities they represent. Paralleling consequentially similar work in Canada and New Zealand, the study will tease out and test facets of quality teaching that are salient to Aboriginal students for the purpose of improving achievement outcomes for Indigenous students and informing teaching and teacher education.
Understanding the experience of women in a tuberculosis hot spot in Solomon Islands to effectively find, treat and care for people with tuberculosis. (Old ID 28952)
• TB remains at unacceptable rates in East Kwaio, Malaita, Solomon Islands. There still are many more undiagnosed cases, or new cases, known to occur amongst people living in mountainous areas. • Women are central to the care of children and family members, including being responsible for growing food. They experience tuberculosis, and care of people with tuberculosis, differently to men and children because of these responsibilities. • Barriers to finding, testing and treating TB remain due to social and cultural challenges faced by women, health system exclusion and geographic isolation. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore and describe women's experience of tuberculosis in East Kwaio, Solomon Islands to determine how to effectively test, treat and support people with tuberculosis.
Knowledge Brokering from the Bottom Up: Co-designing Climate Information Products with the Kwaio people of Malaita Province, Solomon Islands (Old ID 28981)
Baru Conservation Alliance (BCA) and JCU successfully implemented the APCP funded “Traditional Knowledge about Climate and Food Security in Kwaio, Malaita, Solomon Islands” in 2021/22. This current “Knowledge Brokering from the Bottom Up: Co-designing Climate Information Products with the Kwaio people” project strengthens capacity built in 2021/22 to inform climate information products based on Kwaio traditional knowledge. The project will create communication products that utlise both western scientific and traditional Kwaio knowledge about the weather, how the weather is changing and what this means for people living on Malaita, Solomon Islands.
Interactive governance analysis of the Beche-de-mer 'Fish Chain' from Papau New Guinea (Old ID 22287)
This project proposal is to generate knowledge about whole beche-de-mer supply chains through to consumption in end markets, focusing first on the PNG end and moving on to international connections later in the project. This knowledge will be developed within the conceptual framework of 'interactive governance' - focusing on the various actors involved in the supply chain and their networked influences at different scales affecting the way the fishery operates. This knowledge will form the basis for a set of recommendations to improve sustainability in PNG's sea cucumber fishery, to complement existing recommendations developed by the PNG government and community and conservation organisations.
Constructed Seascapes: Understanding Fishtrap Construction, Use, Condition and Future in the Wellesley Islands Region, Gulf of Carpentaria
This project is a partnership between the Wellesley Islands Rangers (WILSSED) and the PhD candidate Lucy Hughes (enrolled at James Cook University, Cairns) to investigate stone-walled fishtrap construction, use, condition, and futures in the Wellesley Islands region. The project will use existing data previously collected from the Wellesley Island region, including aerial photos, drone imagery, LiDAR and on Country survey recordings.

The COACT Project: A Buddy Program of Community Outreach, Adaptation, Connection and Together for CALD Youth
The COACT (Community Outreach, Adaptation, Connection and Together) project aims to support CALD youth (12-25 years) to integrate into multicultural Townsville through an innovative two-year CO-ACTion buddy program. Buddies, matched based on the duration of living in Australia (less vs more than 5 years) with 100 CALD youth in each group, will participate in: 1) an 8-week mental wellbeing and resilience program (first year); 2) monthly CALD community activities (first and second years); and 3) outreach to connect with broader communities (second year). This project will support the participants to achieve successful adaptation through community outreach, connection and growing together.
