Tom OliverGUEST
So the Nature Delusion book, I mean, essentially it starts off talking eyes open about the reality of our climate and nature crisis that we face.

Tom OliverGUEST
I think the book is actually hopefully optimistic and is focused on solutions, but we also have to be realistic about the crisis that we face.

Tom OliverGUEST
And so it starts off talking about, the pollution of our water, the loss of nature, et cetera.

um and in that context there's also an appropriation an appropriation of other landscapes of other environments of other ways of doing things i'm slightly concerned that there's a degree of appropriation going on in in a contemporary co-option of of different world views and perspectives so i just want to ask you how do we ensure that this isn't a sort of a process, another process of appropriation by a well-meaning scientific discourse or need and one that's global, that's inclusive, that brings other people along for the journey as well and doesn't overwrite or bulldoze their ideas.

Joe VaughanHOST
In terms of moving towards those nature-centric systems of governance and worldview, I suppose, what kind of things would you implement

Tom OliverGUEST
So I mean, I can say that, you know, if you think about how we've thought about species conservation, you know, in about 80s and 90s, I don't know if you remember the kind of WWF, save the tiger, save the whale campaigns.

Tom OliverGUEST
And also the fact that, you know, the whale or the panda or the tiger are umbrella species.

Tom OliverGUEST
If we can protect those, we protect all the little tiny moths and frogs that we don't even know exist at the moment.

How are you going to transform this Spiegel tent that you found in the middle of the paddock of nowhere in Augustella into a 1980s Aussie pub?

Tom OliverGUEST
Well, you just put a keg of beer in the middle of the room and that does a lot of the heavy lifting.

Tom OliverGUEST
But part of the beauty of this beagle tent specifically is that it was designed to look like an Aussie shearing shed.

Tom OliverGUEST
So it's It's not your traditional Spiegel tent with the wood and the mirror and the drapes.

Tom OliverGUEST
And for me, I was watching ACDC perform when I went to the Edinburgh Fringe last year and I was like, this is an Aussie band selling out a stadium on the other side of the world.
