CJA Bradshaw

CJAB silhouette transpI am the Matthew Flinders Professor of Global Ecology and Director of the Global Ecology Laboratory at Flinders University in South Australia. I am also the head of the Flinders Modelling Node of the Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage. I was formerly the Sir Hubert Wilkins Chair of Climate Change at the University of Adelaide, and an Australian Research Council (ARC) Level 3 Future Fellow, with previous positions at the South Australian Research and Development Institute, Charles Darwin University, and the University of Tasmania. I  completed three tertiary degrees in ecology (BSc, MSc, PhD) from universities in Canada and New Zealand, and a Certificate in Veterinary Conservation Medicine from Murdoch University.

My raison d’être is to demonstrate to human society that we can no longer ignore the impacts of deforestation, pollution, disease, habitat loss, extinctions, over-grazing, over-fishing or warming climates on human wealth, health and wellbeing. Scientists must not only present the empirical evidence underlying these relationships, they should also excel in telling their stories and advocating for positive change. In a world where human activity has precipitated the current Anthropocene extinction event, my aim is to provide irrefutable evidence to influence government policy and private behaviour for the preservation of our planet’s biowealth.

I have published over 300 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 13 book chapters and 3 books, including The Effective Scientist (Cambridge University Press) and Killing the Koala and Poisoning the Prairie (Chicago University Press). I am highly cited and a member of the Faculty of 1000 and Fellow of the Royal Society of South Australia. I was awarded the 2017 Verco Medal from the Royal Society of South Australia, a 2017 Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Writer’s Fellowship, the 2012 Mid-Career Research Excellence Award from the Faculty of Sciences at The University of Adelaide, the 2010 Australian Ecology Research Award, the 2010 Scopus Young Researcher of the Year, the 2009 HG Andrewartha Medal, and a 2008 Young Tall Poppy Science Award. I am regularly featured in Australian and international media for my research.

Dude!

Abbs said she caught up with you yesterday and recommended I have a look at your blog and steal all your ideas. Impressive mate, too much for me to contemplate thieving in one go.

How the hell are you and when can we all catch up and drink heavily?

PS Antarctica was awesome (again!)!

HI CJAB, Thank you for your kind response. Would you be willing to let the world know about the plight of the monarch butterfly? As a species in Canada, USA and Mexico the butterfly is at risk from a collapsing natural world often caused by man’s indifference. Then along comes drought and the pine beetle in the Mexican monarch butterfly sancutary which further complicates the butterfly’s existance.

You can read our information on our blogs at http://www.insectamonarca.wordpress.com, http://www.happytonics.wordpress.com and from our Web site at http://www.happytonics.org

Thank you for explaining about the interdependance of all species.
What we do to the butterfly, we do to ourselves. I am looking forward to your future articles on biodiversity and sustainability in the midst of a collapsing natural world. It takes people like you to make the world see that we are all related.

Best wishes,
Mary Ellen

Hi There!
I thought you might like to know about a global action campaign I have started to free bears from horrible crush cages on bile farms. Most people don’t even know these places of hell exist for bears. Having you include our action campaign on your blogsite could help generate more awareness and direct action to end bile farming and free the the 9,000 bears that are locked in crush cages so small they can’t even move.

Here are some sites that can provide more information:

Thanks, and I”ll be looking for you!
