Abstract
Brazil and Australia are rich biodiverse countries occupied by di-verse Indigenous and Traditional people. The Convention on Biological Diversity's article 8(j) and 10(c) together highlight the important role played by Indigenous and Traditional people in the preservation of biodiversity. Yet, in both countries, protected areas have been created in territories traditionally occupied by Indigenous and Traditional people, often forcing them to leave. This chapter discusses the issues faced by such peoples in Australia and Brazil and a number of joint management initiatives and changes to regulations. Clearly, effective and institutional arrangements must respond to local concerns and priorities, and a single 'model law' is not feasible.
