Could you please circulate this to your networks.


Many thanks,

Celebrated biologist and author Tim Low in Melbourne - book your spot!


Under climate change Australia can expect more floods, cyclones, fires
and droughts, but what does this mean for our natural environment? Could
increased temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns expose our native
plants and animals to yet another threat? 


Tim Low, celebrated biologist and author of six books including Feral
Future and The New Nature, arrives in Melbourne this month with a
warning for everyone who cares about the environment.


"A warmer world will mean a weedier, more pest-infested and diseased
world. Not only will climate change create many losers, but also winners
we would rather not have," he says.


Tim's talk, Climate Change and Invasive Species - Turning Nature on its
Head, is a free event but numbers are strictly limited. It will be held
at Space 39, Level 2, 39 Little Collins Street in Melbourne on
Wednesday, September 26 at 7.30pm as an adjunct to the Invasive Species
Council's Annual General Meeting.


To book please RSVP to John Sampson at Victoria Naturally by emailing
info at vnpa.org.au or by phoning (03) 9341 6508.
