World-wide, many native wildlife species have become locally abundant or have increased in geographic range. In some situations this has resulted in impacts on human health or livelihood, damage to ecosystems and a reduction in species diversity or richness. There are numerous examples of such conflicts.
In this presentation, Dr Desley Whisson will discuss the challenges of managing iconic species, using the Koala as a case study. Dr Whisson is a terrestrial wildlife ecologist and Senior Lecturer in Wildlife and Conservation Biology at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia.
