2024 John Paul Memorial Lecture: Deep Nature Connection
‘We cannot protect something we do not love, we cannot love what we do not know, and we cannot know what we do not see. Or hear. Or sense’ – Louv.
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?
In this webinar, we hear from three experts whose work focuses on human-nature connection: Lily van Eeden, Claire Dunn and Fiona Murdoch.
