Description: Ecologist Chris Dickman is the man behind one of the biggest news stories of Australia’s worst-ever bushfire season - his estimate of one billion animals killed or injured during the catastrophe went viral. The weight of his findings drew further international focus to the devastation and fuelled demand for action on climate change.

On this episode Chris explains how he calculated this huge number and what it truly means for Australia’s wildlife and future.

This Episode of Talking Australia is hosted by Angela Heathcote (Digital Producer at Australian Geographic) and produced by Ben Kanthak (www.beachshackpodcasts.com).
