This talk explores how engaging with diverse knowledge systems, across sciences, humanities, and Indigenous perspectives, can support truly transformative change in conservation, with insights from emerging UK-based frameworks and practices.
This talk presents findings from a global meta-analysis of 186 studies assessing biodiversity outcomes over time. It shows that in two-thirds of cases, conservation actions improved biodiversity or slowed its decline. Results highlight the effectiveness of targeted interventions such as invasive species control, habitat restoration, and protected areas—while calling for a transformational scale-up to meet global nature targets.
In Australia, where climate debate is polarized, Farmers for Climate Action (FCA) emerged in 2015 as a non-partisan charity uniting farmers with climate science and policy. This study delves into the experiences of New South Wales farmers who joined FCA.

Join us to learn more about the research currently happening at the Fenner School!
From the mid-1800s to early 1900s, New South Wales saw dramatic ecological changes due to agriculture, invasive species, native animal culling, and droughts. This talk examines how these factors altered native species populations using historical bounty records.
Australian dust storms can be characterised by where they come from, where they travel to and how much dust is transported. This thesis aims to build an Australian dust storm dataset using geostationary satellite Himawari-8 that can be used to analyse these characteristics.
PhD Seminar: Effects of Neonicotinoid Insecticides on Soil Microbial Community Affecting Soil Health
Microbial communities are fundamental to soil health, driving nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and plant-microbe interactions. This research investigates how neonicotinoids influence microbial communities, interactions and functional potential across different soil types
The state, dynamics, spatial configuration and characteristics of wildland fuels are critical in understanding fire spread and severity in wildland ecosystems.
