FREE WORKSHOP on the Bhagavad Gita's Three Core Teachings led by Christine Gwin. Event organized by the Brisbane Theosophical Society.

Professor James Watson will examine the growth of Australia's protected areas—now covering more than 22% of the continent—and highlight examples of protected areas that are making a big difference. He will also show that the overall picture is problematic, with gains in protection that have not focused on areas of importance to biodiversity. Professor Watson will argue that achieving “30×30” will require far more strategic, biodiversity-focused conservation planning, and he will outline some thinking on how we can do this.
