Event description
The Bios 1 Circle is an innovative attempt to establish an ongoing circle of Roleystone people and others concerned about the implications of global warming and climate change.
The project aims to provide a platform for research, discussion and action in Roleystone and in other communities with particular reference to a value system that recognises that all value, and thereby our future security, derives from the biosphere.
The following topics will be addressed:
- Increasing risk of serious bushfire in the hills and how we can all best prepare
- Drying climate - the death of an alarming number of native trees through the hills and in and around Roleystone
- Reduced rainfall in the Southwest and loss of ground water has seriously affected the fruit and vegetable growing industries throughout the hills
- The loss of biodiversity in our area and the role of foxes and cats
