James Templeton

Hailing from Queensland, James joined the CEC team in 2021, where he has been actively involved in various research and land management initiatives focusing on feral animals, native flora, and small mammals.

His previous experience, both nationally and internationally, has been in ethnobotanical research, wildlife rehabilitation, and water quality management. Additionally, his time with a variety of grassroots organisations has bolstered his beliefs in community engagement, particularly with indigenous organisations.

Having strong connections to the region and community, James possesses an innate understanding of knowing when to listen and when to act. He treasures the opportunity to live and work on Gadubanud country, where he can deepen his understanding of the area and contribute to conservation efforts for this land.
