Professor David Lindenmayer has made a major and sustained long-term contribution to the conservation of Australia's biodiversity and the ecologically sustainable management of Australia's natural environment over the past 25 years. He has established and maintained four large-scale research programs on biodiversity conservation and natural resource management in south-eastern Australia spanning forests, plantations, woodlands, and agricultural areas. Together these programs encompass over 90 research projects that have the common aim of identifying better ways of conserving biodiversity while at the same time enabling the ecologically sustainable use or management of key resources - native forest harvesting, plantation forestry, agricultural grazing and cropping - or managing fire regimes. He has published over 520 scientific articles and 20 books on many key topics in conservation biology, forest ecology and management, wildlife biology and environmental management. Through extensive scientific publications, numerous popular and semi-popular books and work with over numerous volunteers from many organizations, David's work has influenced government, non-government, conservation and industry organisations, as well as the general public.
