Emily Henderson
I am a PhD candidate studying dingoes, and am interested in providing an evidence base for biodiversity conservation. I hope to help mitigate human-wildlife conflict and contribute to tools for understanding carnivore populations, using methods which are inclusive for local human and ecological communities.
Supervised by: A/Prof Neil Jordan (UNSW), A/Prof Hedley Grantham (UNSW), and Dr Ben Pitcher (Macquarie)
Project Title: Characterising dingo populations to support evidence-based dingo management
Project Description: My PhD investigates the use of non-invasive tools such as camera traps for carnivore population monitoring, particularly estimating dingo home ranges and pack structures. My project involves collaboration with on-the-ground ranger groups, and I aim to make survey methods more effective in applied management contexts.
