Ann Göth is an ecologist, science teacher, public speaker, and author who is passionate about bringing natural history and conservation issues closer to everyone. She began her writing career in 2008, co-authoring Mound-Builders (with Darryl Jones), a book about Australia’s megapodes. Her career has taken her from Austria and islands in Tonga to the United Nations in Geneva, and universities, government agencies, and schools in Australia.
Darryl Jones is a Professor of Ecology at Griffith University in Brisbane, where for over 30 years he has been investigating the many ways that people and wildlife interact. He is particularly interested in why some species have been so successful in urban landscapes while many others have not, and how best to deal with the ensuing conflicts.
