Concerning land rights and native title, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government: (a) Review the system with multiple and overlapping legal regimes applicable to native title claims at the federal, state and territory levels, with a view to aligning them with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which does not contain norms requiring proof of continuous occupation of land; (b) Subject any native title law reform to adequate consultations with all concerned stakeholders; (c) Train more indigenous legal professionals with expertise on native title in order to allow Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to engage in land rights claims in an informed manner; (d) Extend protected areas when requested by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples; (e) Continue to support the joint management of protected areas and the indigenous rangers programme as these are laudable examples of best practices. 21
