Dr Holly Bradley

"It’s important not to just conserve the skinks because of their ecological significance but also importance to people and culture." Dr Holly Bradley is a Research Fellow at Curtin University. As part of her PhD, Holly worked in partnership with the Badimia people of Western Australia to study the Western Spiny-tailed Skink. As a result of that work, Holly and her Badimia colleagues are writing a dual language picture book, that will act as a teaching resource and a way of conserving the critically endangered Badimia language. Holly was awarded the 2022 Next Generation Ecologist Award to support this project. The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Holly works on the lands of the Badimia and Whadjuk people.
