Meet Dr. Alexander Lees
Monday 30th October, midday, 12.00pm Aust. Eastern Daylight Time
As we often mention on The Bird Emergency, birds are rapidly disappeaing from everywhere in the world. This was dramatically highlighted in the most recent "Sate of the World's Birds" report, which was jointly written by today's guest, Dr. Alexander Lees.
He is also very interested in the issues around feeding wildlife, and birds particularly, as has written extensively on the subject, so of course, we will discuss this.
And if that wasn't enough, Alex co-authoured a book, published last year, "Vagrancy in Birds", so we will be talking about birds turning up in unusual locations.
Dr. Alexander Lees has been working on Amazonian conservation issues for over 19 years and is one of the co-investigators of the Sustainable Amazon Network which attempts to understand the trade-offs between biodiversity value, ecosystem services and economic development along tropical agricultural frontiers.
He spent five years (2010-2015) working at the Goeldi Museum in the Brazilian Amazon with which institution he still maintains close ties and a year at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Cornell University in 2015-2016.
Beyond intensive field-work supported studies aiming to understand land-use change, and the drivers of past, current and future biodiversity loss I am involved in leading on several large-scale syntheses and meta-analyses addressing macro-ecological and phylogenetic work at large scales to understand the context and interplay of ecological and evolutionary factors.
* Conservation in human-modified tropical forest landscapes
* Developing new tools to cost-effectively sample biodiversity in tropical forests
* Quantifying the impact of trade on biodiversity and how to mitigate its impacts on wildlife
* Providing an evidence-base for the conservation of threatened bird species
* Avian migration and vagrancy

Habitat Gardening with Grant
Saturday October 14th, 9.30 am Australian Eastern Daylight Time
Introducing plants with berries to encourage fruit-eating wildlife into your garden.
It's as simple as choosing some plants that fave fruits, right? Maybe there are a few design tips to consider before you rush off to the local nursery...?

Saturday October 7th, Australian Eastern Daylight Time
Starting with the very first things to consider when planning or modifying a garden to be a haven for wildlife.
Let's also imagine we could assist the Australian Bird of the Year, the critically endangered Swift Parrot, by making a few additions in the garden... What could we consider?
