Description:

Tegan Douglas is a bird researcher, proud Bird Nerd and the Citizen Science Project Co-Ordinator at Birdlife Australia's Western Australia office.

In this episode we talk about many of Western Australia's endangered birds, Carnaby's Black Cockatoo, Western Ground Parrot, Noisy Scrub-bird, Western Bristlebird and the efforts to secure the populations.

Tegan tells me about her earlier fieldwork with the Red-browed Treecreeper, and why she loves Australian Babblers.

In a wide-ranging (and fun) conversation we discuss many conservation strategies, modern urban landscapes, the largest area of natural woodland on the planet and the Western Australian landscape feature that is visible from space!

Here’s the link to that urban sprawl versus urban infill paper Tegan was talking about: https://www.fullerlab.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Sushinsky-et-al-2013.pdf
