“All things are connected like blood which units one family…man did not weave the web of life, he is merely one strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” Chief Seattle

Celebrating Australia’s biodiversity this British Council funded travelling exhibition aimed to highlight the fragility of life on earth and the role that man has had, and is having, on our delicate ecosystems. Planned to travel from Sydney’s Australia Museum, through Brisbane Sciencenter, Western Australia Museum, Darwin Museum and onto London’s Natural History Museum, the exhibition is designed as a demountable kit-of-parts.

The exhibition comprised of seven demountable installations displaying information, graphics and artefacts relating to seven subject areas; Discovering Variety, Impacts, Biodiversity Today, Case Studies, Futures and What can you do?
