Biography

I am an Emeritus Professor in Ecosystem Management in the School of Environmental and Rural Science, Faculty of Science, Agriculture, Business and Law, at UNE, retiring in August 2021. I worked in applied ecology and natural resource management in overseas and Australian universities for 36 years. I taught undergraduate and postgraduate units in sustainable land management, ecological restoration, natural resources, national park and wilderness management, agroforestry and farm forestry, ecology, wildlife management, environmental impact assessment, and agricultural and rural extension. My research interests broadly span the science, management and governance of social–ecological systems; ecosystem services; integrating production and conservation; sustainable land and vegetation management; biodiversity assessment and management; ecological restoration; protected area management; wildlife ecology and management, and forest protection. Current and recent research projects include species occupancy and distribution baselines for monitoring forest biodiversity; ecology and management of threatened species, protected areas, and the ecosystemwide impacts of feral cats and wild dogs; sustainable grazing management; natural pest control in intensively farmed cotton landscapes and the nature and value of ecosystem services to agriculture; monitoring, evaluation and improvement of ecological restoration and protected area management; mechanisms and mitigation of dieback; the relationship between invasive native scrub and soil erosion and health, and the impact of feral horses in wilderness. Through current and past senior appointments at UNE and beyond, I have developed proficiency in academic and university governance and management, as well as chairing technical and community advisory boards and advising state and federal government agencies and ministers.
