Follow youth conservationist Spencer Hitchen @SaveSunriseGlossies on his journey to understand the imminent threats to the endangered Maugean Skate and the intrinsic beauty of a species that exists both in the real world and in the imaginations of its supporters. Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, the sole remaining home of the Maugean skate, is at risk, but there’s still time to act.
A Land and Sea for All film directed by award-winning filmmaker Josh “Bones” Murphy (ARTIFISHAL, THE SCALE OF HOPE) made in partnership with Environment Tasmania, Holdfast Collective, Rauch Foundation, and Reichstein Foundation.
Featuring Palawa man Lyndon O’Neil, artist Wendy Edwards, First Dog on the Moon, Andrew Wilkie MP, and more.
The 60-million-year-old Maugean skate has been around since the time of the dinosaurs. Discovered only in 1988, the skate now faces a ‘very high’ risk of extinction.
Join us! Together we can SAVE THE SKATE and DEMAND NO NEW EXTINCTIONS.
Screened in partnership with Environment Tasmania and Patagonia Australia.
Expert Panel: Panel members include Spencer Hitchen, Palawa man Lyndon O'Neil and campaigner Jess Coughlan
All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Environment Tasmania's "Save the Maugean Skate" campaign.
