46 Aim for diversity and inclusion of marginalised groups including people across age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, economic status, and ability strata. Carefully consider possibilities for participation of people with different levels of technological savviness by reflecting on the complexity of tasks, the technical skills required for participation, and the learning curve of those technological solutions. Recognise human values, emotions (local and global), and shared expectations of inclusion. Consider the role, and added value, of traditional knowledge and think about possibilities to capture it. Ensure that this kind of knowledge is likely to feed into decision-making processes. In many situations, citizen-based knowledge and information may open opportunities for achieving a range of ecosystem service safeguards and poverty alleviation outcomes. Adopt co-creative and participatory design approaches to help identify and overcome end-user challenges from the start. The Balanggarra Rangers Embed inclusive thinking from the start 6 7 8 9 10 Example 8: The Balanggarra Rangers A collaboration between conservation researchers and Indigenous traditional owners (The Balanggarra Rangers) enabled the local group to bring their unique skills, experience, and knowledge to the project; an excellent example of the synergy between ‘Western science’ and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and skills. The researchers petitioned for more inclusive academic group co-authorship protocols for their resulting research outcomes, with culturally appropriate credit for the contribution of the Rangers.
