Rob Heinsohn

Professor Rob Heinsohn has a special fondness for parrots, the bird order with the highest proportion of endangered species; this research is particularly stimulating because it combines his strong background in behavioural and evolutionary ecology with my more recent passion for conservation biology. He founded the Difficult Bird Research Group out of the Australian National University’s Fenner School of Environment and Society.
