When nature is destroyed and removed, can we ever truly restore it? Across Australia, scientists and communities are sharing powerful stories of ecological restoration – from city rivers to deep-sea reefs. In Adelaide’s River Torrens, urban ecologist Prof. Chris Daniels is leading platypus reintroduction for the city. Downstream near Glenelg beach, one of Australia’s true conservation success stories is occurring underwater: marine scientist Dr Dominic McAfee is restoring oyster reefs, using the sounds of the sea. In Southwest Western Australia – a global biodiversity hotspot – entire ecosystems are being revived from the soil up. Restoration is getting smarter and stronger, one tree, one banksia, one oyster at a time.
Guests:
- Dr Dominic Mcafee, shellfish restoration expert
- Professor Chris Daniels, University Professor and Chair of the Board of Green Adelaide
- Alex Hams, former Healthy Landscapes Manager, southwest WA, Bush Heritage Australia
