Former Chair of Bush Heritage Australia, Campaign Manager of the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), and founder of WELA (Womens Environmental Leadership Australia), Karen Alexander is one of Australia’s leading environmental activists and inspirational mentor for young women. You’ve possibly caught sight of Karen, or heard her voice in the numerous Franklin River films and podcasts around in the past 12 months. She plays an integral role in saving the River through her crucial role as a lead campaign organiser and establishing the Victorian branch of the Wilderness Society. And, as Karen shares, the driving factor in stopping the dam proceeding, flowed from the loss of Lake Pedder.
