Migratory Shorebird Conservation with Richard Fuller

Sunday, 5 October 2025 - 11:30am to 12:00pm

Over the warmer months, Australia becomes home to 37 species of migratory shorebirds which regularly visit our shores. Among them is the black tailed godwit, which was listed as endangered in July, showing a population decline of almost 80% since the 1990s. 

On today's show, Tessa speaks to professor Richard Fuller, an expert of migratory shorebird conservation, about their amazing lifeways, the deeply complex challenges of conservation, and the reasons why he is optimistic about their future.
