I am a postgraduate student studying at Lincoln University, New Zealand doing a Masters in International Nature Conservation (MINC). As a part of the course I am required to do an internship with a conservation organisation. This blog is to record the projects and research I am involved in whilst on placement in Queensland, Australia. I am interning with the Threatened Species Group of the Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) unit, of the Queensland Government.

A Cycad Calamity?
One of the forms of analysis that I am interested in is GIS, Geographic Information Systems, specifically using ARCmap. Thus I was pleased when the Threatened Species Unit asked for my help in analysing data for a cycad (Cycas brunnea) population in Boodjamulla National Park. The plants populations were assessed due to a significant wild fire which swept through the area in September 2011. A. Freeman collected the data in 2010 and 2012 in order to assess the status if the population after the fire. Below is the report, compiled with two of the maps I created. The remainder of the report was composed by A. Freeman.
