Abstract

The chapters included in this edited collection were presented as papers at the North Australia Research Unit annual conference, “Planning for environment change : conservation and development in north Australia”, which was held at the Northern Territory Museum of Arts and Sciences in Darwin during September 1991. ¶ The thirty-six papers presented during the three day conference examined conservation and development issues including methodologies for environmental management. While a broad range of issues were raised, paradoxically some themes such as conservation and management of marine resources, cultural resource management and development of alternative energy strategies using renewable energy sources, were not addressed. Nevertheless, the theme of conservation and development is captured in the following chapters which give an indication of current concerns and possible new ways of promoting ecologically sustainable development in Australia’s north.
