The April Think Tank meeting celebrates Mother Earth Day! It will be hosted by Australian Zontians and will feature Professor Anne Poelina, a Nyikina Warrwa woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Professor Poelina (pictured above) is an active community leader, film maker and respected academic researcher.

Renowned for her dedication to Earth rights and human rights, Professor Anne Poelina stands as a prominent figure in indigenous advocacy and environmental conservation. Her tireless efforts span initiatives aimed at safeguarding indigenous rights, promoting sustainable development, and advancing Earth rights principles. Through empowering communities to engage in decision-making processes and championing environmental sustainability, Professor Poelina’s work epitomizes a commitment to justice, equity, and the well-being of both people and the planet.

This meeting will be the first held at a ‘friendly time’ for Zontians in Asia, Oceania and Australasia and will be held at 3am UTC on Sunday 21 April. (Be aware that this meeting will be in the early morning in Europe/Africa, and on Saturday evening in the USA).

Julie Trone will also give us all a ‘preview’ of the Virtual Art Gallery – just in time for Mother Earth Day on 22 April.
