 GUEST: Mr Ahri Tallon - Coordinator of the Darling Downs Environment Council (DDEC) based in Toowoomba S.E. Queensland. DDEC amplifies community voices for nature protection and sustainability across inland Southern Queensland. Ahri has a background in youth work, community organising and development. His own future professional vision centres on helping create a more connected, thriving and sustainable world.EPISODE OUTLINEAustralia has no shortage of impressive sounding nature protection regulations, at least on paper. Yet, despite this seeming abundance– on the ground itself, it can be a different story. Too often our unique natural areas are not receiving adequate protection or being regenerated and expanded. Native vegetation and species in this part of the world continue to decline as they have been for many years. To reverse those trends; and to provide a proper, respected and protected place for nature here and elsewhere in the country, we need genuine reforms of our laws and regulatory protocols, not cosmetic tinkering around the edges. Business-as-usual approaches to looking after our natural areas are clearly not fit for purpose. Without a well-protected, well-connected, and community-stewarded place for nature going forward, both the natural world and the human health and wellbeing that relies upon it—will continue to deteriorate.So, what if we could organise a better way forward on nature protection by 2040 and beyond? And what if we could encourage new, genuinely bold, imaginative thinking about the ways to do that - within our wider communities?• GENERIC INTRODUCTION – 0.00• GUEST FORESHADOWING COMMENTS – 0.30• EPISODE INTRODUCTION – 1.01• GUEST SELF INTRODUCTION AND WORK IN 2025 – 4.12• GUEST STARTING TO LOOK FORWARD – 9.20• IMAGINE EXERCISE 1 - TIME TRAVEL TO 2040 – 16.12• IMAGINEEXERCISE 2 - SIGNALS OF THE FUTURE – 27.38• CLOSING COMMENTS/AUDIENCE INVITATION – 31.09• END OF EPISODE – 39.08SELECTED RESOURCES LINKED TO EPISODE COMMENTSAustralia Darling Downs Environment Council (DDEC) – based in Toowoomba S.E.
