Hayleigh Graham and Dr Jenn Lavers

"We know so little about the variety of species that exist on these spectacular islands."

Dr Jenn Lavers and ranger Hayleigh Graham work with the Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation to understand and protect the delicate ecosystems of the Esperance region along the south coast of Western Australia.

They joined Ecology Matters to talk about their efforts to restore seabird colonies on some of their offshore islands, and the importance of cultural burning to these species.

The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Hayleigh and Jenn work on the lands of the Wudjari people.
