Prof. Sarah Legge
Professor (Wildlife Conservation), Charles Darwin University
Honorary Professor, The Australian National University
Sarah is wildlife ecologist with 30 years of research and conservation management experience. She worked originally in behavioural and evolutionary ecology (evolution of sociality, mating systems, sex allocation, siblicide, intra-tropical migration).
Over the past 20 years, her research interests shifted to threatened species recovery and adaptive management and monitoring of threats to biodiversity. Understanding feral cat impacts and improving management of those impacts is a special interest.
Sarah’s research is carried out collaboratively with land managers and owners, including Indigenous groups, and government. Sarah’s work has been recognised in several awards, including the 2017 Serventy Medal from Birdlife Australia, the 2021 Distinguished Service Award from Society of Conservation Biology, and the 2008 WA State Environmental Award.
