#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Join Bronwyn Bancroft, proud Bundjalung Woman and author-illustrator, as she talks about her most recent two books, Our Birds and Our Bugs. The books highlight the beauty and wonder of Australia’s wildlife. Bronwyn will talk about the personal care and responsibility we all need to undertake to protect the other species we co-exist with on this planet. We must contain our own need to consume in order to safeguard the future of our biodiversity.
