About this episode
Brett Krause discusses his journey from witnessing deforestation to leading biodiversity restoration efforts using the Miyawaki Method in Northern Queensland.
Our SUGi Forest Maker Brett Krause grew up on a sawmill in Northern Queensland. Witnessing deforestation and the destruction of habitats, he was inspired to be part of the solution. Upon discovering the Miyawaki Method of creating rapid-growth biodiverse native forests, Brett set about on a mission to restore habitat for endangered species, like the extraordinary Cassowary and the Mahogany Glider. Since 2014, and with our support, he’s been establishing biodiversity corridors in farm-degraded rural areas. In this episode of SUGi Talks, we’ll speak about how he went from growing up on a sawmill witnessing deforestation, to now leading the way on Miyawaki Forest building in Northern Queensland.
