RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Organic soils (peats) in areas of southwestern Tasmania have been degraded by fire and subsequent erosive
processes, area affected by frequent firing has been examined and mapped to demonstrate the extent and severity of erosion. A high fire frequency is likely to lead to increased peat loss, a decrease in height and cover of vegetation and ultimately to areas denuded of peat. Implications for land management are discussed,

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.
