Description The concept of ‘social licence to operate’ (SLO) is a way of framing actions related to regulatory licences and approval processes for forestry on Aboriginal land. This article links the processes of SLO to Aboriginal views on forestry. Previous ways of collaborating between industry and Aboriginal communities, such as impact benefit agreements and consultation processes, are also discussed.
