In this edition of EK News, we ask: Will the Roger Cook Labor Government sacrifice the Kimberley’s nature to the tsunami of industrialisation proposals shown on our front-page map?
Our Chair urges optimism and action in response to the odds. Our Executive Director calls on everyone to step out of their comfort zones to prevent the Kimberley becoming unliveable as the climate changes. He reports on city-based anti-fracking protests and new government appointments in environmental decision-making. Our Operations Director reflects on six months in the job and shares EK’s progress in clarifying its values and strategies.
Shaun discusses the imminent decision on fracking, promotes an upcoming Frack Free Kimberley rally and reports another pollution incident by oil and gas players. Wendy discusses 17,000 EPA submissions to save Scott Reef from Woodside and a new weekly local action group.
Holly writes about a Sustainable Communities trip to learn from native plant and bushfoods industry partners. Alex reflects on EK’s interactive wetland exhibit inspiring local schoolkids toward science careers. Kylie celebrates the growth in residential native gardens. We recap the 22nd Annual EK Art Auction and the community that made it a success.
In Living Green, the beauty industry is questioned, while a new column Pepper It Up sprinkles kindness. We spotlight long-term volunteer Liz, welcome new staff member Jayah, and mourn the loss of a cherished friend who was one of the Kimberley’s most exceptional strategic thinkers.
