"As a wildlife ecologist and conservation expert, these fires bring an unwelcome but familiar mixture of deep sadness and intense frustration. As the climate gets hotter, such events will only become more likely and more severe." My article about Victoria's fires theconversation.com/in-the-most-...

I’ve started a new art project and blog called Anthropocene Naturalist. It’s about how I craft whimsy in my naturalist practice. Feeling excited about combining the incredible parts of my day job and my art in one spot. #naturalist #artbook #ecology

Look, I'm so happy that Dutton is gone and it's a Labor win rather than the LNP. But, to see Labor win such a majority and people turn their backs on the Greens and others pushing for *genuine* progress for social and environmental justice makes me very sad. Labor are neoliberal light. #AusVotes25

A few posters from #ESAus2024 that are interesting to me for graphic design reasons! Great colours, well-realised comic, love the drawings!

Omg Eav did has done some awesome comic work. Here she discusses character design, and how you need to consider hobbits, and pet faces to make loveable animal designs #ESAus2024. Check out her poster - 40, it's amazing

Fire ecology and biodiversity conservation are complex. Some places might need fewer fires, fires at a different scale and/or fires at a different time of year (intensity/severity). Some places we might need more fire, etc... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hello! I haven’t posted here yet, but I wrote a book with my friend Dr Caitlyn Forster about visualising ecological ideas. It’s called ‘Graphic Ecology’ and I’m really proud of it.

ever since learning that the national bird of 🍉, the p❤️lestine sunbird survived a name change attempt… & that occupiers drove a subspecies of crocodile endemic to the region to extinction… I couldn’t get this image out of my head. a ceasefire is the bare minimum. but let’s start there.
