Summary

Sometimes the smallest, messiest, most depleted organisation still has more life in it than you might think. In this episode Heather shares why she believes that external partners might offer quicker solutions, but it is almost always a false economy. She unpacks why she has chosen to focus her life on renewing long-established systems from within, assisting them to develop their own in-house solutions. Heather shares insights from Maria Mazzucato and Rosie Collington's research at UCL, into why an over-dependence on external advice creates a fear-driven economy in which actors lose the skill of learning.

My name is Sarah Jane and it was my desire to start a conversation about conservation that brought about the inception of this podcast. Rather than presenting a lesson, I have dragged my programming boyfriend, Joel, along to bounce ideas off - together we discuss MY chosen topic which I have studied, but Joel is totally off script, so I never quite know what he's going to say next. We'll cover topics relating to conservation issues and how they affect our daily life. We'll address concerns about, and explore how far reaching conservation issues are and of course discuss how we can make small changes to live in a more sustainable way. Aussie Backyard Conservation is a place where we imagine better environmental outcomes. Every person can be part of our planet's preservation, and solutions can be found at home. We'd love for you to be part of this conversation too - so please join us as we endeavour to become backyard conservation heroes!
