With Indigenous knowledge and care at the forefront, multispecies living and justice is an achievable cause that should be implemented into Sydney’s urban planning and architecture development.
While I sympathise with SST’s anti-development line, I cannot believe that the solution to conserving Sydney’s trees can be achieved by a simple change of government. What is required is a celebration of trees for their intrinsic value, their character, their sense of place. It is in these famous trees that we find places. There is nothing delicate in a belief like that.
As such, we must actively dismantle this long-standing narrative of the ‘bushtopia’, which only serves to create further degradation and debt.
The key to syntropic farming’s success is its focus on trying to build a whole ecosystem, wherein plants thrive and fulfil their needs through their symbiotic relationships with each other, rather than a more traditional farming approach that focuses on the needs of each plant or species individually.
Trees are all around us… and they are always listening. But they’re not nosy like your next-door neighbour, so you don’t need to worry about them prying into your nonexistent love life and crippling job prospects.
By picking a new name, settler-societies deny the presence of an old name, and positions themselves as the original “discoverers”.
Myths of panthers stalking Sydney are nothing new, but what are the reasons we create these fictions?

The duty would require decision makers to consider the likely impact of decisions that are harmful to the climate, on the health and wellbeing of current and future children, and to not make a decision that would pose a material risk of harm to their health and wellbeing.
