Summer Repeat: THE GREAT KOALA NATIONAL PARK

We speak to Mark Graham who, like so many others, has risked a lot to advocate for these Gondwanaland forests.  He pays tribute to many of the groups and individuals who have worked for this achgievement and firsat among them are the Gumbaynggirr People whose traditional lands are on the mid North Coast, stretching from the Nambucca River(link is external) in the south to the Clarence River(link is external) in the north, and inland to the Great Dividing Range. Their country is associated with the area around Coffs Harbour(link is external) and includes beaches, rivers, estuaries, and mountains.  Virginia Young  says that Carbon Offsets are used to delay real action on Climate Change and Australia is one of the countries most relying on them instead of rapidly moving away from coal oil and gas.https://wilderness.org.au/forest-carbon-explained
