Hey Humans!

In our third episode of Living with Birrarung, we’re zooming out to the global Rights of Nature movement to explore how this movement emerged and where Birrarung fits in this wider picture.

2017 was a huge inflection point in this movement but it also represented decades of groundwork from Indigenous groups and local communities.  

In this episode, we heard from:  

• Dr Erin O’Donnell, from the Melbourne Law School and member of the Birrarung Council.  

• Elke Nicholson, from Environmental Justice Australia.

• Dr Michelle Maloney, from Australian Earth Laws Alliance.
