The Plan to Save Native Forests featuring Bob Debus AM – click here to RSVP.

Bob Debus AM is the chair of Wilderness Australia, formerly the Colong Foundation for Wilderness. Wilderness Australia exists to prevent the collapse of nature by building a network of wilderness areas and resilient ecosystems across Australia, and has been at the forefront of the broader campaign for the NSW government to fulfil its promise to create Great Koala National Park (GNKP).

Along with 17 other environment and community organisations, Wilderness Australia recently sent this open letter to NSW Premier Chris Minns. Bob has also been quoted in the news coverage about the ongoing damage being done by the state-owned logging corporation to sensitive native forests essential to the viability of the proposed GKNP.

Bob will speak to us about the campaign for the GKNP as well as the broader strategy to save native forests across the continent, including what we can all do to help.

If you would like to submit a question for the Q&A part of the briefing, please send them to [email protected] with the subject line “Question for Bob Debus” by midday on Monday 17 March.
