Some in Tasmania and others in Yaolak. I am convinced that a miss to see what others are seeing, the photos on the blog are our eyes distant and so show us more than we like Tasmania -. However both groups are happy to be where we are, see what we see and to be doing the work planned and led us to different places. For our part, Yaloak, we have had luck, mostly because we are learning quickly in our work and other things not directly related with them. Are those to which we now refer.
The first thing learned was the manager of a large estate, more than 5000ha, cereal cultivation and sheep breeding. Clearly the interest of owners and managers is to monetize their work. This has nothing direct. What if any, for us, is their behavior with regard to the management of the estate and the value they place on ecological knowledge about the system not directly related to agricultural and livestock sources of profit; Our arrival and welcome here show him clearly. We arrived with help and presentation of members of the School of Botany University of Melbourne and specifically Valthein Inka. The relationship between Inca and the owners and managers of the farm comes from when he did his fieldwork in Yaolak to assess the possible impact it could have a field installation of wind turbines on the farm. The owners were not developers, but if they were to get a substantial economic benefit from the installation of the mills and associated infrastructure on their land. Inka
finished his work, took the report and the result was not authorized by the wind farm. Its possible impact on bird populations and more specifically on the population of the wedge-tailed eagle Aquila audax doing so. Well, Inka was our introductory and are being treated unbeatable. We need to catch the rabbits, we give the keys to all gates so that we can move freely and perform our work with us to show us the places you need to know, and, from time to time, entertain us with tea and coffee and above all, kindly respond to our frequent interviews on how to manage the farm, the eradication of foxes and rabbits, the interaction between eagles and won .... When asked John, the manager of the farm, why we provide both our work , showed some surprise at the question and said, we are interested in learning on our territory we want to work for it. Anything we can do because scientists work here is good for us. We think the same John, but we did not tell that from where we came from and in similar circumstances might not have received the same treatment.
What we have learned from invading rabbits, predators native and introduced foxes is much, much will also spend time trying to get information to obtain definitive results.
