Discover how four decades of change have reshaped the Australian Alps’ pollinator networks, revealing what long-term ecological data can teach us about the future of biodiversity, ecosystem resilience and conservation in a changing climate.
Discover how cutting-edge technologies, from satellites and drones to sensor networks and fuel moisture monitoring, are transforming early bushfire detection and helping identify fire risks before they ignite.
By exploring both the clichés and realities of modern travel, this project reveals how young adults negotiate identity, growth, and belonging within rapidly changing global tourism systems.
Join acclaimed authors David Lindenmayer, John R. Baker and Elizabeth A. Baker for the launch of Paddock Trees Under Threat, featuring insights from the book, special guest Senator David Pocock, and an evening of wine, cheeseboards and conversation celebrating the future of conservation.
The Centenary of National Forestry Education Colloquium, hosted by ANU on 6 October 2026, will celebrate 100 years of forestry education in Australia by reflecting on its history, examining current approaches to forestry education, and exploring future ambitions for the profession.
As forests face increasing environmental uncertainty, this seminar examines new approaches to building resilience, supporting adaptation, and preparing the next generation of forestry professionals.
Our International Lunch is a chance for staff and students to come together, share favourite homemade dishes, celebrate the cultures and stories that make up our community, and enjoy an afternoon of great food, conversation, and connection.

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.
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.
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.
