CURRENT MISSION

Investigating how to best achieve my long term goals which are to further the movement for conservation goals through indigenous rights gains by engaging with indigenous communities within both conservation and homelands organisations

ABOUT ME

My name is Jack Male, under the name of The Wilderness Society since I deffered my Law degree as I have massive questions about sovereignty I am a committed to civil disobedience both in rallies and life and occasionly blockades loved my recent experience in WA locking onto loggers and boarding live sheep ships most people i know would describe me as wide-eyed and idealistic and that doesnt bother me long term i plan on engaging with Indigenous communities in a variety of ways in the hope of better understanding the culture that understands this country and offering love and support in return because i believe the liberation of our nation as a whole is inherently tied up in theirs.

PHILOSOPHY

LOVE
Minimising negative impacts while Maximising Positive Earnestly
Be the change you wannas see
Talk less Walk more (Learning slowly)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not a couch to offer but am very interested in spreading the CS message as far and wide and hopefully engaging indigenous communities to further increase opportunities for cross-cultural interaction as thereafter c-c understanding

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only experience was prior to registration staying with a lovely couchsurfing host in the blue mountains who extended his hosting beyond my friend to four of his friends and even directed us to an amazing cave where we chose to stay for a wild adventure for 4 nights (4 amazing ones)
