Biography

Professor David Brunckhorst was foundation director of the Institute for Rural Futures and Chair in Rural Futures at the University of New England. Previously, David held various executive management roles within public, private and research sectors in Australia and internationally. His interdisciplinary interests include approaches to integrated ecological conservation and natural resources, ‘working landscape’ management.

He established the National Reserve System Program in Australia and was formerly principal advisor and Secretary to the Australian Parliament’s House of Representatives Standing Committee on the Environment. More recently, David advised NATO and Asia-Pacific leaders on future human security issues relating to changing landscapes, environment and climate.

David has written more than 130 scientific papers and 6 books, and was editor or co-editor of several others. In 2000 he was awarded a UNESCO medal, and in 2009, the George B Fell Award.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
