I wish to correct the Hansard if I may. For some reason I said earlier that Professor David Lindenmayer worked with the Climate Change Institute. David Lindenmayer AO is a professor at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the ANU. He is a world-leading expert in forest ecology and resource management, conservation science and biodiversity conservation. He has a staggering 1,030 publications and 73,706 citations and has published 48 books. His decades of work in the mountain ash forests in Victoria have helped build a picture of the impact of native forest logging. At the ANU, he and his team have been studying hundreds and hundreds of sites on farms in the temperate woodlands, helping farmers understand the impacts that their land management practices are having on biodiversity, which will help farmers be part of the solution when it comes to the loss of biodiversity here in Australia.
