About

Adrian Manning is a Professor in Ecology at the Fenner School of Environment and Society, at The Australian National University and leads the Coexistence Conservation Laboratory (coexistenceconservationlab.org). His research expertise is in conservation and reintroduction biology, landscape ecology, restoration ecology and rewilding, and he has published widely in these areas. He is Research Leader of the long-term ‘Mulligans Flat - Goorooyarroo Woodland Experiment’ (mfgowoodlandexperiment.org.au) – a government-university-NGO research partnership which aims to understand ways of restoring critically endangered box-gum grassy woodlands for biodiversity.

Professor Manning was instrumental in the development of the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary (mulligansflat.org.au) and Wildbark Learning Centre (wildbark.org), and the Kielderhead Wildwood in the UK (coexistenceconservationlab.org/kielderhead-wildwood). A key aspect of his research is the reintroduction of locally extinct species and, in particular, those that return key ecological functions. He is a Trustee of the ACT Woodland and Wetlands Trust that works in partnership with the ACT Government to manage and develop the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary. Professor Manning is also an expert on the Superb Parrot, and associated hollow-bearing trees.
