Rebecca Nesbit is a writer, artist and ecologist. Her latest book ‘Tickets for the Ark’ tells stories of people and wildlife from around the world, drawing on science and environmental philosophy to tackle fundamental questions about what we should save.

Dilemmas are found everywhere in conservation, with some people and animals losing out from all the ways we ‘protect’ nature. So how do we decide what to do? Our intuition often fails us, and much of traditional conservation is built on myths that don’t stack up.

Catch her at the main stage of the SustFest expo Saturday at midday.
