But there are concerns the Nature Positive bill currently being debated in the Australian senate won't meet the promises we made as part of the international Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. </p><p>Guests: </p><p>Marco Lambertini, Convener, <a href="https://www.naturepositive.org/about/the-initiative/">Nature Positive Initiative</a></p><p>Rachel Walmsley, Head of Policy and Law Reform, Environmental Defenders Office</p>
