Deep nature connection: caring for nature in crisis

John Paul Memorial Lecture 2024
17 October 2024
7pm to 9pm
Free webinar on Zoom
 

Register here

Nature needs us more than ever – and we need nature. As we face the increasing biodiversity crisis fuelled by environmental destruction and climate change, deepening our connection with nature is vital. By deepening our understanding of nature, we can better protect it.

How do we encourage more people to connect with nature? How do we inspire people to care? And how does this relate to private land conservation and restoration efforts across Victoria and Australia more broadly?

Hear from three experts whose work focuses on human-nature connection: Lily van Eeden, Claire Dunn and Fiona Murdoch.

The John Paul Memorial Lecture is made possible thanks to the continued support and generosity of the Paul Family Foundation.
