Abstract (in English)

In 2003, wild fire destroyed many of the vernacular mountain huts and vast areas of Kosciuszko National Park, a landscape of national significance in Australia. People with close connections to these huts were devastated, arguing for their immediate rebuilding. Developing a management response that recognised the complexity of this cultural landscape and the value of cultural connections was the challenge facing the park managers, the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NSW). The Huts Conservation Strategy, developed by the authors, offers innovative policy responses to the management of huts and their settings as living rather than relict places.
