Clare has researched and advised on wildlife population monitoring and conservation in academic, corporate, governmental and non-governmental organisations, with a focus on mammals including Madagascar’s fossa and flying foxes, and Tasmania’s spotted-tailed quolls and devils. After nine years as the Tasmanian Government’s threatened species zoologist, and a Churchill Fellowship on citizen science, she joined forces with the Bookend Trust, to establish the NatureTrackers program and the ‘Extinction Matters’ BioBlitzes. Based at the University of Tasmania, she collaborates with individuals and organisations to coordinate and strengthen citizen science participation in mapping and long-term monitoring Tasmania’s threatened species.

Bookend Trust is a not-for-profit education initiative that seeks to inspire students and their communities with positive environmental engagement that helps make the world a better place.
