Action as the antidote to despair: creative pathways for young adults to connect with community and conservation

It can be easy to get overwhelmed by all the information we have around the effects of changing climate. How do young adults in particular combat ‘eco anxiety’ while at the same time maintaining motivation to be part of the solution amidst a rapidly escalating sense of urgency around environmental conservation efforts?

In this episode we speak with Kirsty Bevan CEO of Nature Conservation Society of South Australia https://www.ncssa.asn.au and Acting CEO of Conservation Council of South Australia https://www.conservationsa.org.au and Maddie McShane Nature Advocacy Researcher and Campaigner, and Director of Earth Jam! https://www.ncssa.asn.au/earth-jam/
