Episode Eight - ’Advocating for the Natural World’ with James Hattam

Today on Moments of Clarity, I speak to James Hattam. James is a conservation ecologist and has been working with government and not-for-profits in Victoria and Tasmania for more than ten years, with experience in conservation covenants, philanthropic programs, marketing, communications, community engagement and not-for-profit governance. James is currently CEO at Tasmanian Land Conservancy and is also a board member for Island Magazine. During the conversation we discuss growing up in Fiji, the importance of good teachers, passions and values, democracy and politics, the divorce between the built and natural worlds, following your instincts and learning from experience. I was truly inspired by James’ optimism, pragmatism and the way he simply gets on with the job no matter how large the challenge is. My name is Barney and if you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share.
