Polly is in Australia and New Zealand for three weeks speaking at law schools, universities; meeting with government ministers and organisations; taking the platform at conferences and at the Brisbane book festival; hearing what local communities are doing, learning from people who are stopping their ecocides and hearing what they are.

Have just found out about Polly Higgins and the Ecocide site. She is a voice of reason in a sea of insanity. 10,000 years of relentless destruction of nature has brought us to the brink… the earth is groaning with the burgeoning tide of humanity and her ecological systems are breaking down. No doubt the pro-growth and pro-development business lobbies of the far right will complain bitterly but with campaigns like hers and growthbusters.org the tide may turn. Well done Polly, we’re behind you all the way.
