%X ULURU-Kata Tjuta National Park (UKTNP) is World Heritage listed for both its cultural landscape and biological values, as well as being a Biosphere Reserve. However, introduced predators and competitors, and a reduction in traditional Aboriginal land management practices have had a significant impact on much of the original fauna. A cross-cultural workshop was held in September 1999 to discuss the re-introduction of native animal species to the National Park. Presentations were given by specialist scientists, involving their programmes from arid and semi-arid environments in South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia. In addition, presentations were held by the local Aboriginal people, the Anangu, who expressed many of their concerns and reservations relating to the reintroduction project. This book details the material presented, and although the workshop transpired three years ago, the information is still relevant to reintroductions occurring today.
