February General Meeting

TITLE: Nature Foundation: where evidence meets action to defend nature
SPEAKER: Dr Paul van Ruth, Science and Knowledge Program Manager at Nature Foundation

Abstract: For more than 40 years, Nature Foundation has been protecting Australia’s wild places through science‑driven action—restoring habitats, tackling threats, and unlocking new ecological insights to guide smarter conservation. From large‑scale reserve management to cutting‑edge research, our work blends practical know‑how with rigorous science to safeguard biodiversity for the future. This presentation will provide insights into the strategies that guide our conservation and management actions, and detail our survey and research work on native birds.
