Framlingham Forest Indigenous Protected Area

Framlingham Forest Indigenous Protected Area is a roughly 1,130-hectare Aboriginal-owned forest reserve in south-western Victoria, Australia, situated near the Hopkins River about 20 kilometres north-east of Warrnambool. It protects the largest remaining tract of native stringybark and manna gum savannah in the district and forms part of the longer cultural landscape of the Kirrae Wuurong people, whose ancestors were resettled onto the original Framlingham Aboriginal Reserve in the 1860s. The protected area was dedicated in 2009 as an Indigenous Protected Area and is held in trust by the Kirrae Whurrong Aboriginal Corporation and the Framlingham Aboriginal Trust, with management responsibility resting with the Aboriginal community. Its establishment followed nearly four decades of land-rights campaigning that began in 1976 and culminated in 1987, when Commonwealth legislation returned much of the forest to Aboriginal ownership. As well as its ecological value, the IPA carries deep significance as a continuing cultural place for the Eastern Maar peoples and the descendants of the Kirrae Wuurong, Djargurd Wurrung and Gunditjmara families associated with the historic Framlingham reserve. The forest therefore stands at the intersection of biodiversity conservation, Aboriginal land rights and Victorian colonial history.
