X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In (Be)wilder\, acclaimed urban ecologist 
 <strong>Darryl&nbsp\;Jones</strong> explores how people around the world i
 nteract&nbsp\;with wildlife. He spends time with bearded pigs in&nbsp\;Bor
 neo\, rock ptarmigans in the Arctic\, birdwatchers&nbsp\;in Iowa and conse
 rvationist farmers in Australia&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;Snowy Mountains.&nbsp\; Alo
 ng the way\, Jones asks some big questions. Is&nbsp\;it possible for farmi
 ng and conservation to work&nbsp\;together? How can urban landscapes be re
 designed&nbsp\;to enhance biodiversity? What happens when a local&nbsp\;co
 mmunity turns centuries of traditional land use&nbsp\;over to wildlife? An
 d can birdwatching help save the&nbsp\;planet?</p>\n<p>Darryl&nbsp\;Jones 
 is a Professor of Ecology at Griffith&nbsp\;University in Brisbane\, where
  for over 30 years he has been&nbsp\;investigating the many ways that peop
 le and wildlife interact.&nbsp\;He is particularly interested in why some 
 species have been&nbsp\;so successful in urban landscapes\, while many oth
 ers have&nbsp\;not\, and how best to deal with the ensuing conflicts. His 
 books&nbsp\;include <em>The Birds at My Table\, Feeding the Birds at Your&
 nbsp\;Table\, Curlews on Vulture Street</em> and <em>Getting to Know the&n
 bsp\;Birds in Your Neighbourhood.</em></p>\n<p>Darryl will be in conversat
 ion with local writer and bookseller <strong>Charlotte Guest</strong>.</p>

 \; Author signings will be offered at the conclusion of the event.</em></p
