Degraded, fragmented, abandoned – these are the landscapes that we work in.
But we also live and work in one of the most floristically diverse regions of the world, the south-west of Western Australia.
In the Ecosystem Restoration Laboratory we aim to understand the processes that lead to the degradation of ecosystems and the mechanisms by which they can be conserved and restored.
Our research covers wide and varied aspects of ecology and natural resource management, from conceptual ecology through ecosystem restoration and the management of rare and threatened flora to environmental policy.
