Lifelong environmental activist Christine Milne urges unwavering hope for protecting and restoring our planet, especially for young people. Having witnessed major environmental wins, she believes there are strong reasons for optimism.

Milne highlights the UN Decade for Ecological Restoration (2021-2030) and the potential restoration of Lake Pedder. Flooded in 1972, this pristine alpine lake is now a prime candidate for ecological restoration—a beacon of hope and a future success story.

A former leader of the Australian Green Party and IUCN Vice President, Christine co-convenes the Lake Pedder Restoration Committee and holds numerous other environmental roles. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

On August 17, 2020, the Trump administration opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's 1.5 million-acre Coastal Plain to oil and gas lease sales, possibly by December. This decision, amidst an oil glut and climate change concerns, targets the last 5% of America's previously protected Arctic Coastal Plain. It threatens to transform these wild lands into an industrial complex, jeopardizing the Gwich'in Nation's food security, spiritual, and cultural heritage—they call it "the sacred place where life begins." This move also endangers polar bears, the Porcupine Caribou herd, and migratory birds, marking a critical environmental and social justice conflict.

A video features Gwich'in community members from the 2016 Gwich'in Gathering, testifying against this development.
