Joseph Ka'au - Hollow Watch Australia

Eco Radio

About
Hosts: Dave (He/Him) and Zack (He/They)

Today on the program I will play a follow up interview with Joseph Ka’au, a customary chief of the Kaimari tribe and traditional landowner from Baimuru in the Purari Delta. Joseph is leading a campaign to protect his people's land from destruction by a LNG project there in Papua New Guinea. Almost 2 months ago we talked to Joseph but two weeks ago Joseph went to Adelaide to speak at the Santos annual general meeting.

Later in the show we talk to Mark Cashmore who is leading a citizen science project called Hollow Watch Australia (HWA). Mark has developed an app to help people log and monitor the different animals that frequent and use artificial nest boxes or natural hollows in our bush and backyards.
