9. A Voice of Nature with Dominique Hes

Dominique Hes is an author, educator and policy advisor with a PhD in Architecture and has been thinking about biomimicry, biophilia and regenerative development for a long time, publishing the award winning book 'Designing for Hope: Pathways to Regenerative sustainability', a decade ago. Her continued research centres on how to create a built environment that is good for people and the nature they are a part of. Dominique is the chair of Greenfleet, an NGO planting native forests in Australia and New Zealand. But our conversation is centered around her new role as the Voice of Nature on the Board of RegenMelbourne. This was a lively conversation, with a third participant, Max the parakeet who inhabits a cage behind Dominique as we speak, prompting us to briefly talk about animals as our helpers in getting a culture which has become a bit lost to find its way again. It is a long distance between Sweden and Melbourne, so there are small glitches in the conversation. Nature on the Board https://www.regen.melbourne/news/dominique-hes-nature-on-the-board
