Jamie Kirkpatrick - a giant of conservation
"Jamie’s contribution to conservation in this state is massive and his legacy lives on in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, in the state’s scientific knowledge base, and in the plethora of past students now researching, managing, and advocating for the protection of our wild places." - Tasmanian Greens
Based at the School of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Tasmania for more than 50 years, Jamie inspired a sense of positive change and care for Nature in countless hearts and minds.
His legacy in conserving and expanding the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) is untold.
He has been the anchor in academia, the courageous scientist who would speak out for conservation. Jamie worked with us and was our most trusted source of information and science and advocacy on virtually all of the issues, all of the major campaigns." - Christine Milne, speaking on ABC Hobart
Speaking with Kuno last year, Jamie spoke of an early connection to Nature through family holidays, gardening and a fascination for maps, plants and animals. We'll have more from that interview soon.
You can read some of Jamie's writings, published by Tasmanian Geographic.
Vale Jamie Kirkpatrick and thank you.
