Bringing Back Biodiversity in Orana, Australia

The video explores the journey of Phil and Cherie Thompson, who have turned a biodiversity issue into a successful business called Native Secrets. Located in Dubbo, they manage land owned by a mining company, focusing on restoring ecosystems by culling invasive white cypress pine. The Thompsons, with guidance from elder Peter Peckham, have discovered traditional uses of the tree, particularly its anti-inflammatory properties. Their enterprise not only promotes environmental health but also preserves indigenous knowledge and culture.
