Join this panel to be inspired into action. Our natural world is at the brink of collapse – and if it goes, we go too. But our three panellists not only show us what is at stake; they provide us with a map to alter our relationship to the world around us, and take action. Jane Rawson (Human/Nature) and Natalie Kyriacou (Nature's Last Dance) guide us deep into forests and oceans, across deserts and up mountains, to show us how we can live in harmony with our natural surrounds and celebrate the joy of the extraordinary around us.
Darren Rix (Warra Warra Wai), a Gunditjmara-GunaiKurnai man with Ngarigo bloodlines, powerfully reminds us of the immense value of better understanding First Nations connection to Country, Indigenous knowledge systems and learning from elders about the stories of place and history. Together, they form an unmissable session of contemplation, hope and action. Moderated by The Conversation's Walkley Award-winning journalist and environment, energy and science writer, Nicole Hasham.
Natalie Kyriacou is an award-winning environmentalist, presenter, and charity director on a mission to spark curiosity about the natural world. She is the author of Nature's Last Dance. Natalie was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia and the Forbes 30 Under 30 Honour for her services to wildlife and environmental conservation in 2018. Natalie is the Founder and Chair of My Green World, a Board Director at Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife and CARE Australia, a W20 Delegate (official G20 engagement group), a UNESCO Green Citizens Pathfinder, and she sits on the XPRIZE Global Brain Trust for Biodiversity and Conservation.
Jane Rawson is an essayist, novelist and editor who writes about nature, culture and power. Her most recent book is Human/Nature: On Life in a Wild World, and her novels include A History of Dreams (Brio 2022) and From the Wreck (Transit Lounge 2017). She is the Editorial Manager of Tasmanian literary magazine, Island.
Darren Rix, a Gunditjmara-GunaiKurnai man with Ngarigo bloodlines, grew up in the tin huts and tents of ‘Silver City’, South Nowra, with his eleven siblings. His family later got their first house in the Bega Valley, and he attended school in Bega. At fourteen, Darren moved to Ngunnawal country – Canberra – to which he has songline ties through his Ngarigo bloodlines. He has worked as a radio reporter for the Brisbane Indigenous Media Association, and with the Ngunnawal people as a cultural sites officer in Canberra. Darren is an accomplished musician, as was his uncle, Archie Roach. He has appeared in the TV program Rake. Darren has six children and twelve grandchildren.
