UNSW Environment Recovery Project

An introductory video for the Environment Recovery Project, a community of citizen scientists available to join through the iNaturalist app. The project aims to assist scientists at the University of New South Wales in monitoring recovering species after the devastating Black Summer bushfires of 2019-2020.

We took a tactile approach to this project, using burnt sticks and die cut paper to represent the recovering bushland in our scenes.
