Tim Flannery
Dr Tim Flannery is a world-renowned scientist, explorer and author. He is Director of the South Australian Museum. Dr Flannery has won wide acclaim for his pioneering scientific research in the wilds of New Guinea and has been described by Sir David Attenborough as being "in the league of all-time great explorers such as Dr David Livingstone".
He has made contributions of international significance to the fields of palaeontology, mammalogy and conservation and to the understanding of science in the broader community. His work, which includes a number of major discoveries, has received international acclaim from both peers and professionals. He spent a year as Professor of Australian Studies at Harvard University, where he drew international attention to Australia and its unique biodiversity, character and history.
In January 2002 he delivered the annual Australia Day address to the nation, in which he spoke about the need for Australians to better understand their environment, the urgency of genuine reconciliation with Aboriginal Australians, a more humane approach to issues of immigration and refugee intake, and the dangers posed by globalisation in the quest for a fair and equal society in Australia.
Often provocative, sometimes controversial, but never strident, his views on the problems faced by Australia's environment are drawn from a deep commitment to a sustainable and equitable future for our land. He is a passionate advocate of locally driven solutions to issues such as land degradation and sustainability. Dr Flannery publishes prolifically, having written 12 books including Future Eaters.
Tim Flannery is one of the world's great writer scientists. He is the author of The Future Eaters, Throwim Way Leg, The Eternal Frontier and (with Peter Schouten) A Gap in Nature and Astonishing Animals. He has edited and introduced The Birth of Sydney, The Birth of Melbourne, The Explorers, and other historical narratives. Tim Flannery lives in Adelaide.
