Big questions in biology: Australia’s biodiversity, its past, present and future - a podcast by Experience ANU

In this discussion forum, four internationally recognised researchers will present their own research on different aspects of Australian biodiversity.

They will look back at historical evidence to show how Australian plants and animals evolved and what factors have influenced them.

By analysing the variety of animals and plants in Australia today, the researchers will propose ways they can be managed, protected and used effectively.

The presenters then come together in a panel moderated by Dr Rod Lamberts (Deputy Director of the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science) to discuss the future of Australia's biodiversity and what factors, including climate change, are likely to influence it.
