If we’re going to halt the wildlife extinction crisis, we have to protect the places where these animals and plants live. On Earth Day 2020 we hosted a special discussion with the Center’s Executive Director Kierán Suckling and our Public Lands Director Randi Spivak about our ambitious goal of protecting 30% of wildlands and waters by 2030 and half of them by 2050. We dove into the value of our public lands and waters, the importance of thinking big, and what it will take to ensure wild animals and plants have long-term protection for the places they call home.

Garry is a long term volunteer and activist with Greenpeace but under new laws, some activities he has been involved in could be deemed as 'sabotage'. The Espionage and Foreign Interference bill passed two weeks ago in parliament. It created new criminal offences for 'sabotage' and 'espionage'. The sabotage element threatens people's rights to protest against the Government if they break the law. The espionage element criminalises whistle-blowing with heavy penalties of up to life in prison. Holding Governments to account when they break the law is a cornerstone of good democracies. We will not be silenced. Chip in to help us fight back against these anti democratic laws: act.gp/2LOcTJT

And, he says, we need to talk about talking – because words matter. In this episode, Bioneers Senior Producer J.P. Harpignies speaks with Narby about how the very language and words we use reveal the topography and limits of our worldview, including Western culture’s adamant centuries-long but now increasingly discredited assumption that intelligence is restricted only to human beings.

For too long the Great Australian Bight has been one of Australia’s most unknown, and unsung, treasures. This is one of the world’s last unexploited areas - a pristine wilderness home to thriving coastal communities, whale sanctuaries and more unique marine life than the Great Barrier Reef.

It’s up to all of us who care about our climate, our oceans and our way of life to keep our Southern coastline safe. Are you with us? act.gp/makeoilhistory
