Heart-to-heart with John Wamsley and David Lindenmayer — why these trailblazing environmentalists won't back off
Manage episode 505302192 series 5381
Meet two men on a lifelong mission. They've ruffled a lot of feathers along the way. Some revere them, others revile them. John Wamsley set up Australia's first wildlife sanctuary, but he's perhaps best known as the "cat-hat-man" (sorry, cat lovers!). World renowned forest ecologist David Lindenmeyer has copped heat from Australia's forestry industry for his science. But these two trailblazing environmentalists aren't afraid of their critics - to them it's a case of life-or-death for Australia's extraordinary species. Join them with oral historian Greg Borschmann as part of his Heartlands Conversations series presented at the Blue Mountains Music Festival.
