Squirrel Glider "State of Play" live panel discussion

Our expert panel discusses the current "State of Play" of Squirrel Gliders and asks the question "Where are we and where do we want to be in 10-20 years?" They cover issues such as the impact of fire, climate change, forest conservation, the lessons from COVID-19, farmers as "eco-friends", the individuals involved in the "extinction rebellion", the suppression of science, current political framework and government intervention, as well as reviewing key new scientific insights and finally ecosystem restoration asking - "How do we make 2020-2030 the Decade of Ecosystem restoration?"

Expert panel:
Dr Mason Crane NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust
Dr Rodney van Der Ree University of Melbourne & WSP Australia
Associate Professor Ross Goldingay Southern Cross University
Jerry Alexander DELWP
Facilitated by Gregg Borschmann

Presented as part of the Biolinks Alliance Greater and Squirrel Glider Symposium (October 2020).
