Policy Officer, South West Australia Ecoregion
Gerald Durrell and Sir David Attenborough inspired Katherine to make a difference and conserve the natural world. As a zoologist Katherine helped protect tropical reefs in Fiji and studied rare creatures in Madagascar before she joined WWF’s Western Australian team. This early experience not only made her aware of the wonder of the natural world but also the value of communities in preserving it.
“Community involvement is the key to protecting our threatened plants and animals because government agencies and scientists can only do so much,” Katherine said.
“Conservation is everyone’s business. Without caring landholders and our supporters we could not achieve anything.”
