Join us for an interesting informative evening to learn about the real issues with our water and the Gallium refining which ALCOA is using to ensure that they can continue to mine bauxite for as long as they want.

Our panelists are:

Ann Choong - The impact of bauxite mining on water catchment.

Ann has a background in medicine, law and maths. In addition to working as a GP and a lawyer. she spent a number of years working with medical researchers to develop scientific discoveries into treatments for disease. She reports on water for the Dwellingup Forest Defenders, and is currently doing a degree in groundwater hydrology in order to do it better. She likes camping, hiking and anything to do with Nature.

Danielle Eyre - Danielle is a Senior Scientist Healthy Waterways.

Danielle Eyre is an environmental scientist based in Mandurah, Western Australia. She has qualifications in biology and environmental management and more than 30 years of experience across environmental research, regulation, natural resource management and the resources sector.

She has a particular interest in balancing environmental protection with the social and economic needs of regional communities, and in fostering community participation in environmental decision-making.

Richard Fare - (B.Sc. Hons. 1st Class (Geology), Senior Exploration Geologist).

Richard's career as a geologist is a natural extension of his deep love for the outdoors. With a First Class Honours degree in Geology and 23 years of industry experience, Richard has built a distinguished career as both a Senior Mine Geologist and a Senior Exploration Geologist. When he isn’t analysing rock formations or steering geological teams, Richard is actively immersed in nature. He is an enthusiastic bushwalker, rafter, kayaker, and wilderness adventurer who captures the rugged beauty of his environments as an amateur photographer.

Key issues:

What are the threats to our drinking water?
How will the native wildlife cope with contaminated water?
Who pays to mitigate the risks for the population against contaminated drinking water?
Why is the taxpayer subsidising ALCOA to refine Gallium?
What if any of the remaining forest should be made into a National Park?

Plus lots more:

This discussion will bring to you the facts of what has been going on and the possible ramifications.

We are happy to take your questions in advance just reply to this email and as many as practicable will be presented on the night.

We look forward to meeting you on the 11th of November

Jarrahdale Forest Protectors.
