Frontlines is an exploration of environmental activism and protest across Australia and aims to represent and celebrate the commitment and often unrecognised dedication of people on the frontlines of conservation and environmental crises across the country.

The frontline is a place, an action, as well as a community. It is a space where active citizens are offering a solution in this age of climate breakdown, proving that people power can preserve nature or be defiant in the face of threats to wild places, which has existed for time immemorial.

From Tasmania’s forest battles in takayna / Tarkine to the proposed Adani mine site in the Galilee Basin in Queensland, people are taking action and holding ground across Australia. As they defend vulnerable and irreplaceable places, these people and the places they seek to protect are under direct attack from our Prime Minister, state and federal governments and corporations.
