About this Event
JOIN US for a thought-provoking evening as we share our insights and concerns from the front line of forests set to be cleared for large-scale wind and solar complexes in Queensland. Learn about what’s in store for Victoria and Tasmania.
Hear about our legal challenge to stop the ecologically catastrophic Upper Burdekin / Gawara Baya wind complex set to be strewn across 29,000 hectares of high-elevation, uniquely biodiverse ancient forest of the Seaview Range in North Queensland. Here threatened species live including a thriving population of healthy Northern Koalas.
Hear from a wide range of fascinating speakers including:
Roger Martin, wildlife biologist and Koala researcher
Aidan Morrison, Director of Energy Research at the Centre for Independent Studies
Hamish Cumming, conservationist, on the importance of Brolga conservation in Victoria
Steven Nowakowski, wilderness photographer and environmentalist.
After the speakers, join us for a Q and A!
ABOUT US: Rainforest Reserves Australia is a group of grass-roots conservationists based in the forests of the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland. We host a large native nursery, rehabilitate Cassowaries and have a long track record of standing up for nature. We played a pivotal role in defending against the proposed Chalumbin wind complex proposed for intact forests bordering the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in FNQ.
