The Wilderness Society NSW – Battle to Protect Nature
28th April – 11th May, 2014
Fundraiser Night:
Thursday 8th of May, 6.00 – 11.00pm
On March 31st, more than 80 people were arrested after marching onto the Maules Creek mine site in Leard State Forest to express their opposition to the controversial development.
Hundreds more have stood alongside farmers, traditional owners and concerned community members to block coal seam gas drilling by Santos in the nearby Pilliga Forest of North West NSW.
This photography exhibition shows the nature of people on the front line who have the courage and tenacity to work for the health of our planet and protect our State Forests in Northern NSW from the Whitehaven Coal Mine and the Santos coal seam gas field in recent months. These images show what it takes to keep coal in the ground safe from extraction and the climate.
Everyday Australians standing together to stop fossil fuels is now the new normal.
Come learn about the united efforts of the campaigns to protect Leard and Pilliga forests and be inspired by imagery of the people, stories and courage of what people prepared and preparing to do as part of a movement to protect nature and people from the mining and burning of fossil fuels.
This extraordinary and insightful photography will be up for silent auction, the funds from which will go towards the legal defence of the activists in this campaign who are stepping it up for the future of people and the planet.
