Kaatijiin Film Screening - Breathing Life into Boodja
Friday, February 27
6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Breathing Life into Boodja is a galvanising portrayal of large-scale environmental achievements being made by community groups, Aboriginal communities and rangers, conservation landholders, farmers and scientists. Together, they are restoring and healing land around the Porongurup and Stirling Ranges in south-western Australia.
In this region some of Australia's most biologically diverse ecosystems were destroyed when land clearing for broad-acre agriculture was dramatically increased after World War II. Now restoration is underway across large tracts of open farmland and wildlife is returning.
At the same time, dispossessed Aboriginal communities are regaining their voice and their role as managers of their country. Their story is one of self-empowerment and cultural healing achieved as part of environmental recovery – healthy country and healthy people.
This collaborative work is part of an ambitious 1,000-kilometre effort known as Gondwana Link, which is establishing an arc of continuous wildlife habitat from the tall, wet forests of the Margaret River area through to the semi-arid Great Western Woodlands around Kalgoorlie.
The screening will be followed by a presentation with Elder Roni Forrest and with Zoe Webber from the Healing Centre on the Town of Victoria Park experience of cultural burning at the Hillview Terrace Bushland.
Tickets include a light supper.
