Professor David Lindenmayer has spent more than four decades tracking how Australia’s ecosystems change over time. A conservation scientist and biodiversity expert at the ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society, his work focuses on how species and landscapes respond to logging, fire and land management. He leads multiple large-scale, long-term research programs across south-eastern Australia, some spanning more than 40 years. His research connects field-based observation with environmental management, helping shape how biodiversity is conserved across forests, farmland and protected areas. Alongside this, David has built one of the most extensive bodies of work in his field, while supporting the next generation of scientists and contributing to policy and practice.
