The speakers have established reputations for challenging the dominant paradigm that gives an English landscape and its animals hegemony over very different Australian ecosystems, or they have questioned the direction and pace of change or the current conservation scope and emphasis. Mike Archer is one of a number of outspoken proponents for change. He wants to conserve Australia's biodiversity by revolutionising our interpretation of our zoological friends, food and farms. He wants quolls as our companions and kangaroos on the rangelands and on our table. This will be a challenging day.
