Helen Caldicott, M.D., pediatrician and internationally recognized author and lecturer, hosts a weekly, one-hour radio program titled If You Love This Planet. Produced by Jasmin WIlliams and Scott Powell. Edited by Jasmin Williams.
This week, we hear Dr. Caldicottâs recent conversation with Prue Acton, artist, internationally recognized clothing designer and spokesperson for an alliance of conservation groups in Australia called SERCA (South East Region Conservation Alliance). In the 1980âs, Acton became involved with naturalists in Victoria, Australia who showed her the impact of industrial-scale logging and the ever-increasing demand for woodchips for the local and Japanese paper markets. Having since moved to the southeast coast of New South Wales in Australia, within close distance to the Nippon Paper-owned chipmill at Eden, she has increased her efforts toward conservation. Acton addresses how depleting Australiaâs forests kills native wildlife and greatly contributes to global warming.
