About Professor Hugh Possingham
Professor Hugh Possingham is one of our most distinguished scientists and conservationists.
Hugh has hosted our bird walk for some years, now. Birds are his passion and he is in great demand to lead walks like ours.
Living locally, he spends a great deal of his leisure time making regular bird counts through the surrounding habitat. Hence his encyclopaedic knowledge of the birdlife on our Course.
Currently, Hugh is Vice-President of BirdLife Australia and is President of Friends of Oxley Creek Common, a precinct near to the Club.
He has held numerous academic, public service and not-for-profit positions. Notably, he was the founding Director of UQ’s Centre for Diversity and Conservation Science. The Centre is known for applying maths to conserve biodiversity, gaining world-wide recognition for its modelling used for rezoning the Great Barrier Reef.
For his achievements, Hugh has recently been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, one of science’s highest honours internationally.
