“You can't conserve eastern quolls without conserving the habitat that they are using as well.” Dr David Hamilton is a conservation ecologist with the Tasmanian Land Conservancy (TLC) and an Adjunct Researcher with the University of Tasmania. He runs ecological monitoring programs on TLC's reserves, particularly for the eastern quoll, which help to inform TLC's land management practices. Working across both organisations helps him to apply a behavioural ecology lens to conservation management practices in Tasmania. We sat down with David at the 2023 Tasmanian Landcare Conference. The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. David works on the land of the Palawa peoples in Lutruwita/Tasmania.

Research is only useful if it leads to meaningful change. So, when assessing what works to end violence against women and violence against girls, how can we ensure research sparks action? This is called research uptake, or research for impact, and is a process that's too often neglected. Despite its undeniable importance, it's often poorly funded, difficult to measure and there's little guidance on how to achieve it. In this episode we find out how to address these issues, and discover why it needs to be made a top priority in all research projects. We find out what makes an effective research for impact programme, hearing lessons learnt from the What Works To Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls' programme. And we meet a researcher whose project serves as a shining example of how it can be done positively. Our guests are: Diana Arango, Senior Gender-Based Violence and Development Specialist, World Bank Group Wilson Hernández Breña, Adjunct Researcher, Group for the Analysis of Development (GRADE) from Peru Leane Ramsoomar, Public Health Researcher & Research Uptake Specialist, Gender and Health Research Unit, South African Medical Research Council Your hosts are: Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI Angelica Pino, Grants Manager and Capacity Strengthening Specialist, SVRI Find out more at svri.org.
Double Espresso With Dee: Inspiring Stories of Change and Personal Growth
Today I am excited to welcome a scientist and marine conservation specialist Dr Tessa Hempson. She is an ecologist, a coral reefs specialist, and a writer. She studied botany and zoology, conservation biology, and worked extensively across Africa. Today she is the Principal Scientist and Program Manager of Oceans Without Borders and at the same time an Adjunct Researcher at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Australia. During her PhD studies in coral ecology, Tessa even worked as a helicopter underwater evacuation instructor for the Australian Defence Force. She told us about this extraordinary experience and what she learned from it. We reflected on last year's challenges, especially those regarding connection with the community, which is crucial for Tessa's work. She emphasized the importance of building strong local capacities and shared how special it was to return to Africa after the lockdown. Tessa took us back to her childhood, the experience of growing up in nature, and the moment she realized that studying oceans is her call. In the ocean space, little things civilians can do to preserve nature can really make a difference. There are so many simple things we do in our daily lives, choices we make about tiny things that can make a huge impact. For example, reducing plastic usage, recycling, and being informed where our food comes from. Every time we spend money, we are creating a statement on creating consumer demand. So if we demand local products, we are directly impacting the amounts of carbon in the atmosphere. And there is, of course, voting and making your voice heard in the political space. Tessa shared her views on seafood consumption in western, privileged societies where there is a choice. Her advice is to get informed, eat less, and try to eat those lower species on the food chain, such as sardine, instead of predators such as tuna. She told us about her life-changing experience of diving deep into the ocean in the Mozambique area, but also the terrifying one of witnessing the coral bleaching. A lot of environmental problems come from ignorance, and that is something we can deal with. Tessa is sure that there is always hope and that we have the power to make the change.

Writer, thinker, podcaster, community convenor and Stoic Peter Limberg joins Terry to consider how we can navigate our fast-changing cultural and digital landscapes amidst the meta-crisis in a way that brings tribes and ideologies into conversation with one another and fosters authenticity, wholeness, and right relationship to reality.
