Breakfasters: Judy Friedlander’s Fight for Urban Biodiversity
Judy Friedlander joins the Breakfasters to chat about boosting biodiversity in your own backyard. As a journalist, academic, and founder of PlantingSeeds Projects, Judy leads the B&B Highway, an initiative creating urban habitats for birds, bees, and biodiversity across Australia.
Her new book, The Bee Squad, empowers kids (and adults) to take action—whether it’s building insect hotels, planting for pollinators, or spotting local wildlife.
'When anyone thinks about environment, they think about climate change, which is still of the utmost importance… but biodiversity has unfortunately fallen through the cracks.'
