SUMMARY:Bruce Lindenmayer Memorial Lecture – David Lindenmayer ‘Re-imagining fire in the land of fire’
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished Professor David Lindenmayer speaks on ‘Re-imagining fire in the land of fire’\nAustralia is the most fire-prone continent on earth. The relationship between fire\, fire management\, fire risks and biodiversity is complex\, and often poorly understood by the majority of Australians. Many of the opinions on fire in the media and populist literature are ill-informed. Some actions like logging\, thinning and even prescribed burning can actually make some Australian ecosystems more flammable. They can also alter fire regimes – or the sequence of fires in an area – with profound long-term negative impacts on biodiversity and the integrity of ecosystems. \nThis talk discusses new insights into the ecology and management of wildfire and other kinds of fire in Australian landscapes. It charts a new path towards better understanding fire and its management in the land of fire. \nThis special Memorial Lecture will be held on Thursday\, 5 February 2026 at 6pm in Theatre 2\, Lowitja O’Donoghue Cultural Centre\, ANU. Bookings are free but essential\, and are now open. \nBruce Lindenmayer OAM was a highly dedicated environmentalist\, conservationist and ornithologist\, and a member of the Friends of the ANBG for fourteen years. Read about his life and legacy. \nBiography\nDistinguished Professor David Lindenmayer\, AO FAA\, is a world-leading expert in forest and woodland ecology\, resource management\, conservation science\, and biodiversity conservation. He has maintained some of the largest\, long-term research programs in Australia\, with some exceeding 42 years in duration. He is among the world’s most productive and most highly-cited scientists\, particularly in forest ecology and conservation biology and has published more than 1550 scientific articles including 990 peer-reviewed papers in international scientific journals. He has also published 50 books\, including many award-winning textbooks and other seminal books. David Lindenmayer held a prestigious Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship from 2013-2018\, where he worked on biodiversity indices\, metrics and proxies. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (elected 2008)\, a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America (elected in 2019)\, Fellow of the Royal Zoological Society of NSW (elected 2022)\, and Fellow of the American Academy of Sciences (elected 2023).
