Resurrecting our Native Icons
Exploring emu reintroduction in Tasmania
This dynamic presentation from the University of Tasmania follows the recent work of Dr. Tristan Derham and colleagues on reintroducing emus in Tasmania. Tristan is a PAN Works fellow and ecologist, ethicist, and environmental philosopher. With expertise in conservation ethics, he is particularly focused on rewilding, restoration practices, and the historical distribution of emus. This discussion explores the ethics, ecology, and cultural elements around the potential reintroduction of Tasmania’s now-extinct, iconic species.
