This is a place where you can learn a bit about me and the work I do in biodiversity conservation. I am a lecturer at Murdoch University - I teach a number of units in undergraduate courses including: nature-based tourism, sustainability and protected area management. I also assist in mentoring postgraduate students to develop their research skills. My main areas of expertise are ecology, conservation, community engagement and outreach, wildlife management and restoration ecology. I am particularly passionate about the role of the wider public and private landholders in arresting declines in biodiversity. If you are interested in collaborating with me, please feel free to get in touch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce8cdc2fc47560001452643/1565529328230-E0Z41Q1LFG87PHO90OOI/banner_resize2.png Home https://www.earthlywellbeing.com.au/about-me daily 0.75 2024-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce8cdc2fc47560001452643/de85317c-b104-432b-95ed-5c4b2e4f0ded/IMG20210724093036.jpg About me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce8cdc2fc47560001452643/1565527696488-8TOWAAA2DM5N8YPI1LA3/20180908_122843.jpg About me https://www.earthlywellbeing.com.au/yoga daily 0.75 2019-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce8cdc2fc47560001452643/1565581594152-U632IGDEQWY5N0OJKI0K/20190328_124010.jpg Yoga - TIMETABLE COMING SOON If you are interested in meeting me on the mat, please follow the updates on this website or my Instagram (@earthlywellbeing) and Facebook (Earthly Wellbeing) pages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce8cdc2fc47560001452643/1565582249921-EZBEXFHE58OX7Y2SXQ97/20190310_183916.jpg Yoga https://www.earthlywellbeing.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2024-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce8cdc2fc47560001452643/1565583954442-96R0W2ZKU6NF971UB097/20180630_133353.jpg Contact https://www.earthlywellbeing.com.au/research daily 0.75 2024-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce8cdc2fc47560001452643/e877d868-73f3-4941-9487-4454bb94845f/19.JPG My reseach - Western ringtail possum conservation Steven, R., Van Helden, B.
