Driven by Nature

Glossy Black Cockatoo Citizen Science with HARRY HACKETT


Listen Later

Carla and Yanti are excited to be back with a second season of Driven By Nature. In our first interview of 2024, Carla interviews Harry Hackett, who is working to conserve Glossy Black Cockatoos on Bundjalung country in north-east NSW.

Harry, affectionately nicknamed-named after 70s TV presenter and naturalist Harry Butler, works with environmental NGO Wildbnb Wildlife Habitat on The Glossies Northern Rivers project. This project is a partnership between Wildbnb, WWF-Australia and NSW Saving our Species. We take a deep dive into the ecology and threats to the Northern River’s glossy black cockatoos and will see just how powerful the role of the community can be to protect threatened species.

Here are some of the links to the resources mentioned in this episode.
