9:10 Opening address from Minister for Environment and Water, Hon. David Speirs

9:25 Keynote

Keynote – Professor Kristofer Helgen How little we know of nature: the thrill of scientific discovery in an uncertain world @khelgenStudies of biological diversity provide a framework for classification and identification of all life on earth, and are thus fundamental to all of the biological sciences and their applications, including conservation. The fact that much of the world’s biodiversity remains scientifically undocumented constrains our current understanding of much of biology, and poses a challenge to effective conservation and management of the natural world. Despite centuries of research, previously overlooked species continue to be discovered and classified for the first time by scientists, even in the best known groups of organisms. Here I discuss mammals documented as new to science in the first two decades of this century based on my fieldwork in tropical regions and detective work in natural history museums. I discuss how these discoveries impact conservation and management decisions in a human-dominated world, in which natural landscapes are rapidly changing and species extinctions are increasing.

9:50 Keynote

Keynote – Professor Lesley HughesConservation in the Anthropocene: the need for a less conservative perspective The rapidly changing climate has profound implications for biodiversity and is expected to result in greatly accelerating rates of species extinction. The need for new approaches to conservation in light of this threat has been recognised in the scientific literature for well over three decades. But there remains a huge gulf between recognition of the need for more interventionist action and actual implementation. This talk will address potential ways to bridge this gulf and canvas some new approaches to meeting the conservation challenge in the 21st century.

10:15 Keynote

Keynote – Dr Karl Braganza Describing current and future climate risk: an operational perspective A greater appreciation of the immediate need to address current and future climate risk has resulted in a change in the questions posed to science. There is now a recognition that the management of natural resources, and the management of built assets and operational systems, needs to encompass adaptation to future climate, and mitigation of the impacts of associated natural disasters. To address these needs, the science will increasingly look to characterise future climate change with respect to specific vulnerabilities, and include elements such as worse case scenarios and compound extreme events. This talk will present the challenges associated with fast-tracking the provision of relevant science for climate risk planning and implementation.

9:00 Keynote

Keynote – Rosemary BissettUnderstanding climate change risks and opportunities: a financial institution’s perspectiveThe financial sector has been building its understanding of climate change related risks and opportunities for a number of years, with many institutions now incorporating climate change into their strategy, governance and risk management processes and disclosures. Regulators have also highlighted the financial nature of some climate risks, with APRA signaling that “many of these risks are foreseeable, material and actionable now”. The Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures’ recommendations report has now triggered interest in financial institutions being able to use climate change scenarios and data for risk management and stress testing of credit portfolios. This presentation will cover NAB’s response to climate change and early work by a 16 bank global pilot (including NAB) for the United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative, which aims to implement key recommendations of the TCFD and use climate change scenarios to stress test participating bank loan portfolios.

9:25 Keynote

Keynote – Professor Sarah BekessyThe critical role of 'everyday nature' for the future of cities @sbekessyA perfect storm of ideas is generating unprecedented enthusiasm for embracing nature in cities. Re-enchanting urban residents with nature can deliver a remarkable range of health benefits, while creating cities that are more resilient to climate change. Creating ‘every day nature’ in cities presents opportunities to reverse the fate of many threatened species and connect people with Indigenous history and culture. But it’s more than just urban greening; it’s generating daily doses of biodiversity. The future of liveable cities may well depend on this new conceptualization, but a major shift in the way nature is conceived of and planned for is required.

9:50 Keynote

Keynote – Dr Manu SaundersWhat is sustainable agriculture? Complex interactions & communication challenges @ManuSaundersHumanity’s demand for food and fibre production is increasing and it is critical we manage agricultural landscapes sustainably to ensure production security. But ‘sustainable’ is an ambiguous term that is used in a variety of contexts with sometimes conflicting meanings. Agriculture is a social-ecological system, based on a mutual relationship between nature and humans. Ecologically sustainable management relies on integrating natural and human systems, and moving away from quantifying and managing individual components in isolation from the rest of the system. In particular, wild animals that interact with farms are often labelled simplistically as ‘good’ vs. ‘bad’, and managed in isolation, an approach that overlooks the complex ecological interactions across space and time that sustain ecosystem services on farms. Published evidence shows how agricultural landscapes can be managed to enhance ecosystem services (e.g. food production) and reduce environmental degradation, although there are still many knowledge gaps to fill. Despite existing knowledge, broader understanding and adoption of agroecological management practices is limited, partly because of disciplinary silos and communication challenges between researchers, political bodies and farmers. A landscape-scale systems approach to agricultural management, across land uses and industries, is essential to support an ecologically sustainable production system.

10:15 Keynote

Keynote – Dr Katherine Tuft20 years of threatened species conservation @KatherineTuft

Arid Recovery is a not-for-profit conservation organisation that has been researching arid ecosystems in outback South Australia for over 20 years (since 1997). The reserve is one of Australia’s largest feral free fenced reserves and landscape scale laboratories for conservation research, a “living laboratory”. We have successfully excluded feral cats, foxes and rabbits from 60 km2 and reintroduced four locally extinct species. A fifth threatened species, the Plains Mouse, reintroduced itself in 2006 and is now thriving. Science underpins the management of the reserve. We test, measure and adapt our techniques to do conservation as effectively and efficiently as we can in the dynamic arid zone. We are working with our collaborators to develop a sustainable, long-term reintroduction solution for our threatened species.

Graphical Abstracts

Zoe Doubleday

Poster sessions are often used to showcase research at conferences, but they can also be the least engaging. To overcome this, we called for graphical abstracts – image-driven infographics to captivate and clearly explain research. Presenters were given a strict 100 word limit and a directive to package the key messages of their work for a general audience.


5-7pm Wednesday 11 AprilIngkarni Waardli Atrium, University of Adelaide

You are warmly invited to the launch of the book Monitoring Threatened Species and Ecological Communities by the National Environmental Science Programme (NESP) Threatened Species Hub. This new work gathers valuable insights from some of Australia’s most experienced managers and scientists involved in monitoring threatened species and communities.

Book launch: Monitoring Threatened Species and Ecological Communities

This book is the product of a workshop conducted by the NESP Threatened Species Hub that brought together monitoring experts and managers from across Australia. Attendees discussed the value of, and many challenges involved in, monitoring threatened biodiversity.

The book provides a comprehensive review of the state of threatened species monitoring, offers case studies highlighting monitoring successes, and gives new insights into pathways to improve monitoring effectiveness.

This year’s conference will showcase research through graphical abstracts.

Graphical abstracts are image-driven infographics that captivate and clearly explain research. Presenters will showcase their graphical abstracts under the marquee and will be on-hand to answer any of your questions.

A competition supported by Animate Your Science will select the best graphical abstracts. The competition will be judged by a panel of science communication experts. We also

Animate Your Science Graphical Abstract Competition encourage all attendees to vote for the People’s Choice Prize. Information on voting will be available under the marquee.

The following prizes will be awarded for the best graphical abstracts:

First Prize - $300 from Animate Your Science

People’s Choice Prize– Goodie Bag

Prizes will be awarded at a special presentation in the Braggs Lecture Theatre at 2:30pm on Day 2.

The book launch will feature various speakers including Professor David Lindenmayer and Dr Darren Southwell from the book’s editorial team, followed by a response from Dr Matthew Ward, DEW Director of Conservation, NRM and Protected Area Policy.

KNOWLEDGE PROTECTION

Aboriginal knowledge encompasses people, language and culture and their relationship to the environment.

The ‘ABORIGINAL ENGAGEMENT’ project planning iShare tool will now guide you through the important issues to identify and address Aboriginal Cultural knowledge. Search ishare for the “Building Project Capacity with Aboriginal Partners” page and click on the ‘Knowledge Protection’ icon for further information.

This project was undertaken by the Science and Information Group as a component of the Reconciliation Action Plan. Further information contact: [email protected]

Four presentations at this year’s NRM Science Conference will showcase work with First Nations peoples and engaging with Aboriginal knowledge.

Aboriginal Knowledge, also referred to as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), Indigenous Biocultural Knowledge (IBK) and Indigenous Science, recognises and celebrates the connections between humans and the environment.

Vincent ‘Billy’ van Uitregt will be providing a perspective on the different forms of knowledge and particularly, conceptualisations of Country to get you thinking about how you should engage with Aboriginal knowledge.

Ben Daly will be discussing how community-led approach Healthy Country Planning (HCP) ensures that Traditional Owners and Alinytjara Wilurara leverages the benefits of Aboriginal

knowledge and western science toward achieving environmental and agricultural outcomes across the Alinytjara Wilurara region.

Steve Hemming will be discussing a new Goyder Research Institute project (partners Flinders University, DEW and the Ngarrindjeri Regional Authority) that applies the Ngarrindjeri Yannarumi Assessment process to enable assessments of environmental and water health, based on Ngarrindjeri principles and philosophies.

Mel White will discuss how the new online Project Management Framework Form for Aboriginal Engagement guides steps you through most of the important issues to identify and address Aboriginal Cultural knowledge in project planning.

See these presentations in the ‘People and the Environment’ session (Wednesday 11:30-1:00)

Aboriginal Knowledge presentations at the 2018 NRM Science Conference


This year’s SA NRM Science Conference will feature a science communication session with loads of new perspectives, tips and hints from some experts in this ever expanding domain.

Communicating ideas can be difficult, and when ideas involve highly technical and scientific terms and concepts it can seem virtually impossible.

Dr Heather Bray will explain the limitations of the ‘deficit model’ of science communication, and how placing science and technology within a broader social context is important to effectively engage the community in conversations about science.

Dr Tullio Rossi, an award winning science communicator and the founder of Animate Your Science will show you how to turn your science into a captivating story. A story made to stick and connect with a wide audience at a deep emotional level.

Kirsten Duncan from Biotext will illuminate some key ways to determine the right approach to communicate science and scientific data. She'll discuss bringing accessibility to your content through strategic communication design, and why enabling interactivity is important.

Adrian King from Redboat will explain that to generate impact and engagement we need to think strategically about the creative process. Adrian will unpack the key strategic approach he uses producing animation and video for scientific research organisations such as CSIRO, DATA61 and Geoscience Australia.

Dr Sheryn Pitman from Inspiring South Australia will explore how civic science literacy is associated with support for basic scientific research and for the intellectual freedom needed for good science fundamental to good decision-making.

The Communicating Science session (Tuesday 10, 2:00pm-3:15pm) brings together experts to share their research and approaches.
