Climate Choir Melbourne were invited to sing while guests arrived at the Australian Conservation Foundation’s public forum at the Hawthorn Arts Centre on 10 November 2023. The forum was a discussion on the weakness of our national nature laws (under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act) and how these rules are in fact failing to protect nature.
Speakers included local Federal MPs Monique Ryan (Independent) and Michelle Ananda-Rajah (ALP) together with expert speakers from the ACF, and audience questions. Our repertoire for the evening included songs about threatened species, forests and sustainability. Julian Meehan (@julian.meehan.portrait) was there with his camera – thanks!
