Join us at Wildbark, Mulligans Flat for our Paperbark Science Series, where you have the opportunity to hear from various Special Guests speakers throughout the year. We also love to include time for a little Q&A at the end of each session or workshop. 


The return of the predators: understanding and managing positive changes in restored ecosystems.

Dr Xavier Lambin, a professor of ecology at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland will engage you with the challenges that arise when efforts to restore ecosystems that had lost key species to persecution succeed and native predators return.

Xavier will share insights based upon observations in man-made and natural forests in England and Scotland respectively where change rather than equilibrium is the norm. We will uncover that predators often kill each other and that there are some winners and losers amongst species that have thrived in impoverished ecosystems when native predators return. Similar issues will no doubt play out in Australia where conservation efforts succeed.

Join us to be infected by Xaviers’ enthusiasm for the value of combining old fashioned field studies with novel technologies such as eDNA enriched scatology and a dose of number crunching.
