Project 4.9.1 has three key objectives: To understand Indigenous natural resource use within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area through the completion of reviews and comparative assessments; To optimise Traditional Owner engagement and knowledge in natural resource management; and To enhance opportunities for building capacity in Traditional Owner groups for engagement in research and management of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Major Project Outputs The Annual Research Plans, or ARPs, outline the specific tasks, products, budgets and staff for each research project within each of the Research Themes and Programs of the MTSRF. The ARPs also outline the key deliverables, or 'project milestones' (e.g. major reports, journal articles, communications products) to be achieved. An ARP is developed for each operating year of the MTSRF (2006-2010). Details of this and previous years' outputs from this project are included in each of the Annual Research Plans.
