Jessica Holz speaks with Hugh Possingham and Paul Leader about the erosion of biodiversity and its effect on wildlife. They also discuss how cities and the natural world can co-exist in harmony and how appropriate planning for major infrastructure projects can have a nature positive outcome.

The Engineering Reimagined podcast explores how, like engineers, people from all walks of life are reimagining the future and their roles in it. Each month you'll hear inspiring stories from a range of guests as we reimagine how engineering can lead the world to a better future.

Engineering Reimagined

Safeguarding the environment by enhancing biodiversity

Bushfires are becoming more frequent, intense, far-reaching and complex. How can we reimagine bushfire resilience with a more proactive, systems-based approach? In this episode of Engineering Reimagined recorded live at the CAETS conference, Aurecon’s Santiago Estrada sits down with Dr Marta Yebra, a Professor at the Australian National University and Director of the Bushfire Research Centre of Excellence. Dr Yebra shares how engineering-led innovation is transforming the way we predict, prepare for and respond to fire and other natural hazards.
