E4 - The Role of Aboriginal Burning in Shaping Grassland Ecosystems - with Dr. Paul Foreman

In this episode I chat with Dr. Paul Foreman, an Ecologist and Botanist with over 35 years’ experience. Paul has worked in State and Local Government, with Trust for Nature and Bush Heritage Australia, and established his own consulting business in 2009. Paul was the inaugural Chair for the Biolinks Alliance, where he has been involved in landscape-scale restoration projects. We discuss Paul’s PHD thesis, which investigated the role of aboriginal burning in shaping and maintaining grassland ecosystems. Paul’s research is one of the first to use multiple lines of evidence to show the fingerprints of aboriginal management in shaping grasslands.
