Meet me! I’m Cath, the social media rep 🤓 I’m a PhD student, researching how ecological modelling could help improve restoration decisions and the management of invasive species and ultimately reduce the uncertainty around management outcomes in magical WA 🌸

Meet the team! President Courtney Melton 🌞 Her PhD project seeks to understand the value of understorey vegetation as a habitat resource supporting small woodland birds and a potential deterrent of a Key Threatening Process to their decline – overabundant, native, noisy miners.

The climate really is changing. The things those scientists were warning us about are coming to pass, just as they predicted. And, here’s the thing: I’m one of those scientists. | Opinion by David Watson https://t.co/3pdQwCmFds

A super informative (if not depressing 😭) article if anyone was still wondering how bad the #AustraliaBushfires are. Every little donation helps!

With Australia on fire, here’s some photos of glorious WA flora that I work with, so we can remember what a beautiful country we have and why we should all keep doing our best to save it ❤️ Though surely for now nothing compares to the courage of volunteer fire fighters.

That is an interesting map for a country, Australia, that was instrumental in stopping any progress in Madrid. Thanks @EuanRitchie1

“Let’s imagine nature is our patient, and biodiversity loss is a malady. Avoiding impacts is analogous to preventing illness, whilst compensation is the cure for it. The important question, then, is which is preferable, prevention or cure? And under what circumstances?”

Using the UK as an example, Joseph W. Bull and @EJMilnerGulland join the @BESPolicy team and present their new model, designed to simulate prevention and cure tactics for decision makers: https://t.co/wDDO6dcF3M

@AngryWagtails @alicatling What a mission, good on you!

[Catherine Bowler @cath_bowler]

@alicatling and I had a taste of ID-ing eucalypts in Tasmania this month, for her exciting #drought tolerance PhD project. Don’t know how people do this on the mainland with 700 species!! 🤦‍♀️
