Keith represented Gondwana Link at The Wilderness Society’s Wild Country Science Council meeting in Canberra. The Council is an eminent group of ecologists who share our concerns that it is past time we had some focus on continental scale processes. It is wonderful to be working in step with such an eminent group of scientists, and we were very encouraged by an earlier conversation with Prof. Harry Recher (not in photo, unfortunately) who was crystal clear on the importance of ‘sticking to the ecological fundamentals’. This guidance and support is appreciated.
