The Small Friends Books team explored the complex science of coral reefs through a reading of our coral symbiosis storybook – Zobi and the Zoox.
Professor Linda Blackall then led a short Q&A about the coral symbiosis, followed by a discussion about the campaign to win legal rights for the Great Barrier Reef.
We also talked about the story of the African farmer who killed a hyena: https://orionmagazine.org/article/if-nature-had-rights/
Finally, Aviva led an art-making experience – where participants created a coral-inspired message and postcard-sized watercolour painting, which we posted to the Australian Minister for Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg.
This event formed a part of a broader RONA (Rights OF Nature) events, an initiative of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance:
