Product Overview

After seeing the destruction of the fragile alpine ecology of Australia's Snowy Mountains first hand, Richard Swain decides to speak out. Hard hoofed feral animals are trampling and endangering the viability of the headwaters of three iconic rivers. While city people demonstrate against climate change inaction the massive bushfires of 2019–2020 threaten Richard's community. Vast swathes of Kosciuszko National Park are burnt, highlighting the broader context of climate change.
