{"Image PhotometricInterpretation": "2", "Image ImageDescription": "(ALL INTERNAL, LIMITED EXTERNAL RIGHTS) An early dry-season controlled burn being conducted by local aboriginal rangers on Fish River Station in Australia's Northern Territory. By burning early in the dry-season, while the grass is fairly young and still moist, the fires burn cooler giving off far less carbon then a similar burn would later in the year. Fish River Station is a 700 square mile area in northern Australia. Situated alongside the Daly River, the remote property ecosystem still functions much as it has for thousands of years. The Nature Conservancy, in tandem with Pew Charitable Trusts and Wild Australia Program is working with the Indigenous Land Corporaton (ILC) and the Australian Government's National Reserve System to help the ILC purchase the property and place it in the hands of the indigenous people who will sustainably manage it.
