How do we conserve our outback landscapes?

A public talk by Larry Innes, Director of the visionary Canadian Boreal Initiative

Presented by The Wild Australia Program & the Great Western Woodlands Collaboration

Larry Innes Director of the Canadian Boreal Initiative

Larry Innes Director of the Canada Boreal Initiative is coming to Perth for part of an Australian tour to outline this groundbreaking conservation initiative.

Larry will showcase the unique environment of the vast Boreal forests - the largest forest on earth - and the visionary work he leads.

The Boreal Initiative brings together Indigenous people, industry, scientists and conservationists to work for prosperous communities and healthy forests.  

The work of the Boreal Initiative has been extraordinarily successful – with millions of hectares of northern Canada have been protected and better managed through this work.  

The success of the work in Canada holds many lessons for work in Australia seeking to keep our big outback landscapes healthy.  

You are invited to join us for an inspiring talk from one of the world’s leading conservationists.
