“We live in challenging times! We look to leaders to share seeds/stories that enable our reworlding so that we co-design better ways, generate new-normals, and actively provoke diversity in our ways of knowing and being. The authors of this book have listened and offer us insight into possibilities and opportunities for co-creation of socio-ecological justice, should we be brave enough to act. Who better to encourage change towards decolonized, hopeful, inclusive futures than environmental educators: leading us beyond Western entitlement (re)storying our education practices with our ecosystems in mind.”—Peta White, Senior Lecturer, Education (Science Education), Deakin University, Australia
