This project examines increasingly critical issues for Native Title agreement-making: the joint management or co-management of national parks and other protected areas. Of particular interest are comparisons in what has been achieved through native title in a range of State and Territory agreements. This project broadly involves comparisons of native title and joint management arrangements in states and territories, case studies of joint management in protected areas, as well as publications from various workshops related to native title and joint management, more specifically it includes:

• International joint management bibliography
• Comparison of Native Title and joint management arrangements in states and territories
• Case studies of joint management of protected areas
• Workshops and publications on Native Title and joint management
• The Checking and Learning Project: Charles Darwin University’s participatory monitoring and evaluation of joint management project
