There are some projects that begin with a good idea and end with a film. And then there are projects like Whispers of Wilderness, a film in 2025 that has gone on to become something larger, deeper and more enduring: a community program about nature, wellbeing, economic opportunity and the value of our place.

NPA’s tagline is Connecting People with Nature. We are an organisation focused on the conservation of nature through well-managed protected areas such as national parks and marine sanctuaries. We understand that communities want to protect what they see and value and feel a connection to.

I think most of us have a river (or creek) that lies deep within us, in our memories, with sounds, sights and smells to connect us to that past. For me, it is of the creek on the family property, a walk down from the homestead, across paddocks with very large bulls, or skittish sheep, pitted by the billabongs of water courses past, and through barbed wire fences to a creek that had cut its way deep into the soil.

Environmental issues have certainly lost their shine of late as a national or global topic, replaced by stories of war and destruction. Yes, we may be living in a poignant moment in time where a Trump America aims to undermine the international system, which includes the system that develops and defines environmental international standards. For example, Trump’s America recently pulled out of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The IUCN sets the standards for protected area planning, and assessment of species extinction risks, which informs international and domestic policymaking.[1] And, yes, national and state nature law reforms will likely fall short of what is required for Australia to meet its global commitments to the Convention on Biological Diversity. However, I believe there is hope. It’s about remembering the golden age of Australia’s environmental law and being persistent with our activism and, most importantly, being patient — waiting for another golden moment to seize the opportunity for progressive reform.
