Megafauna & the Return of Water: Empowering Biology to Reduce Fire & Reverse Desertification
You’re invited to a very special film screening plus Q&A at the 2nd Global Earth Repair Convergence (online & in-person).
Kachana Station, in the spectacular Kimberley savannah region of far north Western Australia, has become a global symbol of regeneration in practice. But the story is not finished. And is currently under threat.
This session begins with a powerful short film, with over 1.5 million views so far, produced by award-winning ABC program Australian Story, followed by a live update on where things stand today on this paradigm change in motion - including a rapidly narrowing window to act.
What follows is not a typical panel. It is a working conversation across science, land stewardship and systems change. Together, we explore what it would take to establish a research-led pathway forward, and who is needed to make it real. For those inspired and ready to contribute, a clear next step will be offered.
Special guests include John D Liu, Cassandra Kiki Ami, Dr Arian Wallach, Sam Bartels, all hosted in interactive conversation by Anthony James.
This Convergence event, from May 7-11, will bring together over 500 in-person participants and thousands more virtually—including restoration practitioners, experts, permaculturists, scientists, innovators, funders, and community organizers—to accelerate action on ecosystem restoration, climate cooling, food security, and biodiversity recovery.

If you would just like to join for the update on the situation and the panel, that will happen from about 40 minutes into the session, for the last 50 minutes.
