In Australia, cities and towns struggle to maintain a reliable water supply, climate change triggers droughts which devastate farmland, and fish stocks are running low. It is increasingly clear that we are heading towards collapse if we don't change direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAboriginal people taught themselves thousands of years ago how to live sustainably in Australia's fragile landscape.

They reveal the hidden art of four-level storytelling, and discuss how the stories, and the way they were used, formed the basis for a sustainable society. They also explain ecological farming methods, and how the Aboriginal style of leadership created resilient societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTreading Lightly\u003c\/em\u003e takes us on a unique journey into traditional Aboriginal life and culture, and offers a powerful and original model for building sustainable organisations, communities and ecologies.
