Eliza Hoyland starting off the Hunter Environment Institute’s career session & talking about her transition from her marine science undergraduate degree, honours study, grad research position and now role as an education officer at Newcastle Council. @hunterenviro @Uni_Newcastle

School holidays so I am working from home this arvo! Kids fitted me with a face mask so I’m beautiful for next zoom meeting.

Some people have questioned whether the blerb from my book-Saving Biodiversity-was legit! A colleague found this pic that proves it -
"The book follows the author...being chased by elephants, sniffed by lions, gored by quokkas, and watched by wolves."

recently got the chance to apply some of our research knowledge to help improve its plight by creating artificial ponds to increase habitat and restore connectivity. Within 3 months, the ponds had LLJ in them

40 km of trekking through high altitudes in the Annapurna region has left sore muscles & amazing memories, with unforgettable learning experiences of the community conservation initiatives conducted by the @NTNC team. The @uni_newcastle team was supported by the @NewColomboPlan.

Exciting day on the @Uni_Newcastle Wild #Nepal @NewColomboPlan trip where we learned how the local community has worked so successfully to conserve #vultures after the diclofenac devastation. Saw 7 species!

The team from Uni of Newcastle learning about endangered gharial captive breeding on the New Colombo Plan funded Wild Nepal trip.

Breakfast with rhinos at the NTNC BCC camp in #Chitwan NP, #Nepal

The Wild Nepal team learnt about the plight of man-eating tigers, setting up camera traps, methods of animal capture and then scanned the museum to see the fauna of Chitwan.

Awesome to be back with folks at the National Trust for Nature Conservation for the Wild Nepal program supported by the New Colombo Plan of the Australian Government and run through the Uni of Newcastle. Lots to learn about conservation here.

There’s a cool new book on conservation available for pre-order (at a large discount on US Amazon) - I know the author:

Some festive artwork from the Centre for Conservation Science at the University of Newcastle!

Just back from an amazing two weeks in Nepal with the National Trust for Nature Conservation and supported by the New Colombo Plan #NCP - rhinos in Chitwan and trekking the Annapurna. Amazing place, and awesome experience for 20 @UoNewcastle students.

G’day BlueSky! First post - we had a great workshop on frog conservation in the Hunter region last week with experts from around the state joining us to learn about our frogs and prioritise conservation research actions. Alex Callen starred as the organiser.
