WA Biosphere our Life Support

jARRAH

Below are some ideas, thoughts, and carefully considered steps towards a public awareness campaign that addresses the critical implications of the ongoing destruction of our local biosphere.

Our biosphere relies heavily on the stable natural permanency of our rich bushlands, expansive Jarrah forests, pristine lakes, wetlands, and nutrient-rich soils.

The adverse effects of such destruction have direct consequences for the existence and reliability of our rainfall patterns, the quality of our drinking water, the health of our pollinators, and, ultimately, the sustainability of our food sources. Furthermore, the degradation of these essential ecosystems impacts our overall nurturance in terms of health, mental well-being, and the stability of our environment and climate.

It is crucial to recognise that all of these elements are interconnected and serve as fundamental components of our life support systems within Western Australia.


From the year of 1961, each of our elected Managers at the state government level has allowed, for a staggering six decades (60 years), our ecosystem's invaluable biodiversity to be extensively mined, indiscriminately cleared, and ultimately destroyed.

This has led to the heartbreaking reality that only a mere 10% of our precious biosphere, specifically the iconic Jarrah forests, remains intact.

In order to change this deeply irresponsible behavior, we must focus on building a robust awareness within our community regarding just how fragile and vulnerable our bushland, forests, wetlands, and topsoil truly are, as they are vital components of our life support system here in Western Australia.

Our ecosystem is one that cannot simply be repaired due to the ongoing bulldozing and devastation of thousands of hectares of our Jarrah floor, which serves as the essential nutrient sponge and filter for the survival of our indigenous nature.

Through numerous awareness campaigns, we aim to unite a supermajority, consisting of at least 50% of the public, to take a stand against this ongoing destruction and to pledge to care for and maintain what remains of our invaluable natural ecosystems.

By compelling our managers in WA (Parliament) to act responsibly and thoughtfully for the sake of our children's future, we can then seek appropriate action for compensation related to gross negligence in the loss of our biosphere, which is from profit-driven motives in both private and government sectors. Our ultimate goal is to restore our natural systems for the benefit of future generations.


As in school teachers protesting a supermajority is formed

Future-proof funding

This is essential for us to take root and successfully build a strong, sustainable base of 50% of a supermajority within our community.

To achieve this goal, we will need to establish paid positions for our members, which will contribute significantly to maintaining the health, stability, and consistency of our union as it continues to grow.

This funding can be obtained through various avenues, either by secure private funding sources or through contributions from our members, or ideally, through a balanced mixture of different pools of funding that support our initiatives.


Create a script to demonstrate how to engage the public in discussions about WA Life Support and the natural biosphere.

Focus on storytelling with logical semantics and clear implications.

Good Semantics

  • Take the first steps and sign the petition.

  • Always bring in the YOU so the listener understands that the solution depends on them.

  • This is showing exactly where the responsibility belongs.

  • Do a series of short steps why the Jarrah Forrest is our responsibility.

  • Because if people believe that it is an organisation out there that's fighting for their cause they believe that they will fix it and save everyone you need to take this away and show them that they are responsible for the life and conditions they live in.

  • Empowering the public to make a choice in the protection of their own home their own state their own children's future.

  • You want the activist to come back to be a part of more, to build a super majority.

  • It's about improving your own life

  • Its about uniting and standing up together.

  • Because no one is going to change/ save you but yourselves.

  • Every Western Australian has a role to play in the protection against insecurity of the natural state of their place.

  • The Jarrah old growth is the CHILDREN is the people is your LiFE Support.

  • The word protection is to protect YOU.

  •  Helping WA COMMUNITY to to stand together to defend themselves.

  •  If you do nothing, nothing will change …

 Important Support to win this, we all need ****

Mental health space

Through the Wilderness society or other free spaces find a place on line that is managed by local health facilitators online in person or both to be able to share and vent your feeling and thoughts of fears, in the activities of organising community for unity.

To reduce burn out, exhaustion, self doubt, Fear and replace all of blockers towards a healthy mindset.

We Meet up on a Sat or Sun morning Park sessions for all activists involved.

To Meditate, to do breath work, to do exercise and most importantly to chat, mix enjoy and relaxe with fresh fruit salad, tea, coffee and banana bread.

Choir practice

Humming, singing, and vocalising create sound vibrations that stimulate the vagus nerve. This supports nervous system regulation, helping you shift out of stress responses and into a more grounded, relaxed state.

I have noticed that activist are looking for connection to a cause that can bring them into a community these are single, widowed or lonely community which can lead to burn out from mental fatigue or become disillusioned and bitter from no one to share with, to give a simple Saturday morning health check in to reset and continue with a work out and connection with others will be gold in its self.


Creativity in the arts

Represents the very heart and soul of local consciousness, serving as a vital source of joy and a means of mental health relief. Engaging with various forms of multimedia, we can capture the essence of life in all its vibrant flavors and showcase the loving presence of nature within our natural ecosystems. Just as I cherish the companionship of my pets and the closeness of my family, I hope to convey this affection through various artistic expressions to our biosphere.

It is essential to use personal and everyday analogies to help viewers grasp the urgent need for connection and awareness in their lives.

For example, envision an elderly woman, frail and skin and bone, lying in a hospital bed where her breath is painfully laboring, there is a long wide window behind her showing a Jarrah forest crashing and dying while wild life is trying to survive. She is clasping in her tight, scrawny fists long stems of Western Australian native grass and vibrant wildflowers, while being fed nutrients through a drip as she perseveres to hold on to life and all of her children sit cross legged around her watching in grief, sobbing with heads in hands with fear of their own existence.

This powerful scenario serves as a reminder of the critical importance of nurturing not only ourselves but also our precious environment, which sustains us in so many ways.

Community biosphere AD

This advert is to demonstrate that we are all community we are all family we're all living and working together as one.

And its UP to YOU to make a Difference.

It shows children that represent a forest we are in a forest and we have all different members of community up against a Jarrah tree or standing beside a tree.

Along the path a voice over narrative is explaining at a calm pace the state and health of WA Biosphere with the low sounds of community People chatter, children.

At certain stopping point to the destination there is no narrative just the action of community of caring and sharing with each other.

The camera is following a  small group of people who are carrying children on a slight slope walking on a path between a Jarrah trees of Forest on the pathway they pass community of people and trees with people either going between them as the narrative is unfolding they will stop in small groups to interact with each other with the community acting out why we need our biosphere to drink water to eat food to support our pollinators, some one picking up top soil in their hands saying how dry the soil is.

(this may be children dressed as native bees looking at bees.)

As they are going down the pathway the heading towards a body of water or it could be a destructive field of Jarrah being bulldozed.

In the small group coming to the end of the path altogether with children are back up beside them in a larger group.

So in essence this is showing Forest and the life support of community how the trees of that community equal humanity the people who live in Perth and what we are losing.

Lords of the Forest from Lord of the Rings


Embarking on a whimsical pantomime journey through the lush outdoors, this adventure integrates talented singers and artists who come together to weave an intricate and unique narrative. This story can follow winding pathways that lead towards the destructive forces unleashed upon the magnificent Jarrah Forest. Imagine integrating a role-playing game that invites participants to either run towards challenges or sprint away from looming threats, all while adhering to a set time limit.

Small bands of travelers will meander along winding paths threading through the Jarrah forests, only to be confronted by intriguing challenges and obstacles along their journey. It would be fascinating to involve role-playing gamers in building and expanding this concept even further.

The looming threat in this narrative is an approaching Prisoner or Warden with sinister intentions, who seeks to take captive all the inhabitants by depriving them of essential resources such as water, food nutrients, and the critical elements of a stable climate.

Participants could also engage with elements of film production, where their adventures are documented on video, allowing for the creation of a captivating narrative that they can purchase after their journey concludes.

Along the way, they must solve intricate puzzles and unravel mysteries within charming country towns that dot their path.

As the sun sets, these towns could host the weary travelers with lively evenings featuring music, storytellers, and theatrical performances that narrate the chilling tale of Alcoa and South32, portrayed as the dark lords intent on exploiting the fragile remnants of Middle Earth's Perth life support—the Jarrah forests.

This allegorical representation mirrors the embodiment of greed and power akin to the dark lord Morgoth, the all-seeing antagonist from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Towns such as Pinjarra could provide cozy spaces filled with enchanting halls or rooms that challenge participants to unlock puzzles, ultimately making their journey complete.

To enhance the experience, the local community could adorn themselves in character costumes, actively participating in a grand role play that promotes a larger vision of awareness and conservation.
