A/Prof Emilie Ens

"The Elders that I have met over that time, they have really influenced my thinking and inspired me to keep going."

Emilie Ens is an Associate Professor at Macquarie University where she leads the Cross-Cultural Ecology and Environmental Management lab. She is passionate about creating respectful cross-cultural partnerships with Indigenous people and organisations to better understand and manage Australia’s diverse ecosystems.

Emilie and her team have won a number of Awards for their cross-cultural work including Banksia, Eureka and Australian Academy of Science Awards, and in 2022 Emilie was awarded the ESA Members Service Prize in recognition of her outstanding contributions to Australian ecology.

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. Macquarie University is situated on the lands of the Wallamattagal clan of the Dharug Nation.
