Overview
Conservation efforts and environmental activism typically focus on the land, water ways and all things living on this beautiful and biodiverse planet we call Earth, but what about the protection and preservation of celestial worlds beyond this planet? And what about our pristine dark skies so many animals, including humans, have evolved to depend on?
As we hurtle toward new frontiers in space exploration join renowned Kamilaroi astrophysicist, author and science communicator Karlie Alinta Noon for a compelling in-conversation event discussing how Indigenous-led astro-environmentalism can guide humanity's venture into the cosmos!
