Extreme climate explained: Using drought projections in wildlife conservation

April 17, 2025

Droughts are a regular and challenging feature of Australia’s climate—but what makes a drought ‘extreme,’ and what do climate projections tell us about their future frequency and severity? Watch our NESP Climate Systems Hub webinar featuring insights from hub researchers and the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.

Presenters Vanessa Round and Jennifer Pierson explain how climate research is guiding conservation decisions—from identifying species at risk to prioritising adaptation options and managing properties facing changing drought conditions. Explore how these insights are driving practical solutions supporting effective conservation planning and decision-making.
