Sydney Writers' Festival

In Defence of Nature


Listen Later

What is the writer’s role in an era of profound ecological change?

This panel event brings together leading local nature writers James Bradley and Bruce Pascoe to discuss how best to defend our environment. James’ latest book, Deep Water: The World in the Ocean, dives into the waves, and Bruce’s Black Duck: A Year at Yumburra investigates traditional agricultural practices that offer a blueprint for our farming futures.

Reflect on our relationship with the natural world and what lies ahead, as James and Bruce are joined in conversation by Ashley Hay.

This episode was recorded live in May at the 2024 Sydney Writers’ Festival.
