Beyond Zero - Community

Mon 30th October 2017In the land of the lyrebirds  everyone is enthralled.Scientists  measuring the carbon stock, citizens battling the pulp mill, visionaries with maps of the linked up forests, all pause.The first people who came in to this moist forest with its giant trees going back hundreds of years, must have laughed to hear the lyrebird imitate a kookaburra, imitate a cracking branch, imitate them. When the wildfires went through what a thing to be mourned.As we learn new words like eco- system services and legacy industries, what will be the future of this carbon dense series of forests from central Victoria to Southern NSW?. They are our richest ecological asset.Bringing you  a narrative of restoration in these febrile times of climate disruption:Paul Payton from the Great Southern Forest AllianceDr Heather Keith  from The Fenner School of Environment and Society A.N.U.Steve Meacher from The Great Forest National ParkDaisy Barham from Nature Conservation Council
