I moved to wingham from Sydney 6 years ago in that time we have experienced fire drought and flood in this are. I knew people whose houses burnt down snd one woman whose sister died in the fires. My daughter’s house flooded and as animal carers with FAWNA we’ve seen the effects on wild life as well. I was already very concerned about the climate and ecology and extinction but much more aware of it now. I am involved with knitting nannas extinction rebellion and blockade Australia because I feel I have to do what I can.
