RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Macquarie Island, in the subantarctic, is in a position of great importance for programmes of scientific research and nature conservation, but its historic value in the area of heritage conservation should also be recognised. A management plan should be formulated for protection of the features of the island in all these aspects.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
