## Overview

### Background

Conserving biodiversity is essential for maintaining the health of the environment upon which human life and wellbeing relies. But the task will only get harder, with human pressures increasing in magnitude and ubiquity. My research tackles questions central to this challenge. A particular focus is biodiversity net gain policy, particularly the design and consequences of biodiversity offsetting, as well as the conservation and restoration of Australia’s woodlands and woodland bird assemblages. I collaborate with a broad network of individuals and organisations including government and non-government bodies to help achieve effective uptake of research findings into policy and environmental management. Sound conservation policy is essential if we are to apply ecological knowledge to reduce and ultimately halt biodiversity declines. I provide guidance on offset/no net loss/net gain policy development internationally including in Malaysia, the UK, Mozambique, and Guinea, and to intergovernmental convening bodies including IPBES, the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the IUCN. I currently chair the IUCN’s [Impact Mitigation and Ecological Compensation Thematic Group](https://www.iucn.org/our-union/commissions/group/iucn-cem-impact-mitigation-and-ecological-compensation-thematic-group), am a director of [BirdLife Australia](https://birdlife.org.au/) and the [Australian Wildlife Conservancy](https://www.australianwildlife.org/), and am a member of the [Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists](https://wentworthgroup.org/) and [The Biodiversity Council](https://biodiversitycouncil.org.au/). My research group is part of the [Centre for Biodiversity & Conservation Science](https://cbcs.centre.uq.edu.au/).

### Research impacts

I collaborate with conservation policymakers at State, National (e.g. New Zealand, Australia, Mozambique) and international (IUCN, UN, IPBES) levels to achieve policy change and benefits for biodiversity. Example impacts include:

- Science input to the drafting process of goals and targets for the Convention on Biological Diversity post-2020 Global Biodiversity Strategy (Diaz et al. 2020)
- Led writing of the first international policy on biodiversity offsetting for the IUCN
- Development of the Conceptual Framework for Land Degradation Neutrality, adopted by 129 countries to date, to implement the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
- Designed several widely-used tools to implement best-practice application of the mitigation hierarchy, including Australia’s Environmental Offsets Assessment Guide and Reef Trust Financial Contributions Offsets Calculator, New Zealand’s offset accounting model, and Mozambique’s new Impact Mitigation decree
- Participated in the Consultative Group and Technical Group advising the EPBC Act review drafting proposed new National Environmental Standards for Australia for the Samuel Review
- Achieved listing of a Key Threatening Process under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act: “Aggressive exclusion of birds from potential woodland and forest habitat by over-abundant noisy miners (*Manorina melanocephala*)” and authored the Threat Abatement Advice for this KTP
- Developed a definition, condition scoring approach, and nomination for “Temperate and Subtropical Woodland Bird Community” for listing as a threatened under the EPBC Act (currently under consideration)

### Available projects

- #### Ecological and conservation impacts of noisy miner Manorina melanocephala control in subtropical woodlands

  This exciting project aims to develop a greater understanding of the effects of noisy miners *Manorina melaocephala* on the health of subtropical woodland ecosystems, and test an experimental approach to reducing negative impacts. The fieldwork will be based in the woodland landscapes around the UQ Hidden Vale Wildlife Centre in south-east Queensland, about 1.5 hours from the St Lucia campus. You would be joining the vibrant [Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science at the University of Queensland](https://cbcs.centre.uq.edu.au/).

  We are seeking students with experience in Australian bird and/or plant identification and survey methods, and an enthusiasm for field-based work. Field expenses are funded, but the successful applicant would need to apply for PhD candidature and scholarship through The University of Queensland: [Doctor of Philosophy - Study - The University of Queensland (uq.edu.au)](https://study.uq.edu.au/study-options/programs/doctor-philosophy-7501#overview). At this stage, we are only able to accept applications from domestic students.
