Coral’s Last Stand (E)
Tuesday, April 15 @ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Scott Reef, an ancient coral atoll 300km off the Australian mainland, is home to over 1,200 species, including endangered sea snakes, green turtles, and rare cetaceans that rely on its krill-rich waters.
However, this unique ecosystem is under threat as Woodside and its partners plan to drill 50 oil and gas wells in the surrounding waters, arguing the project will aid decarbonisation—an assertion conservationists strongly dispute. Corals’ Last Stand, a half-hour documentary featuring Tim Winton and John Butler, explores the potential destruction of Scott Reef and questions whether Australia can afford to risk such an irreplaceable environment for fossil fuel extraction.
Following the screening of Corals’ Last Stand, there will be a Q&A session where you can hear from experts and advocates about the urgent threats facing Scott Reef. This discussion will explore how you can take action, from raising awareness and supporting conservation efforts to calling for stronger protections against industrial exploitation. Join us to learn how we can work together to ensure Scott Reef’s survival for future generations.
