Bushfire season in Australia has ravaged the east coast, with Sydney’s iconic skyline obscured by a constant haze of smoke. It has been a spark in the political tinderbox. While some have argued that emergency response and climate policy should not be conflated, others have rallied, urging us to confront our new normal.

Special appearance from Denis Rose, speaking on how integration of traditional management practices can offer us a different approach.
