Professor John Woinarski

"One of the most outstanding conservation concerns in Australia [...] is the extent of loss of [...] endemic mammal species."

Professor John Woinarski has been involved in research, policy and management of Australian biodiversity for over 40 years. His career has crossed several fields, including reserve design, fire ecology, biodiversity monitoring, invasive species, the impacts of forestry, pastoralism and mining, and island biogeography.

He has been awarded a Eureka Prize for biodiversity research, a Serventy Medal for life-time contribution to Australian ornithology and an Australian Natural History Medallion.

He sat down with us during the 2023 ESA conference in Darwin to discuss the impacts of feral cats on wildlife.

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. While his work takes him across the continent, John lives on the lands of the Wurundjeri people.
