We are fortunate to live on a planet that surrounds us with the wonders of nature. From frogs to koalas and even snakes and sharks. Yet what are we to make of the sixth great extinction now underway, caused by humans?
Suzanne Ferris' book Let's Not Lose Them: Endangered Species in Australia embodies both the joy of life and a warning that we are unwinding our life support system.
Joining us in this conversation is Jeremy Barrett, in which we touch on the economic thinking that is driving environmental destruction.
For more on the economy, we recommend the upcoming NENA conference to be held in Canberra, 17-19 November.
Also mentioned in - and highly recommended - is the Rethinking Capitalism weekend run by Steven Hail and Gabrielle Bond.
