Ewen Lawler
Honours Student
Ewen was born in North Queensland, where he developed a keen interest in wildlife, especially reptiles and amphibians, before moving to Canberra in 2009 to complete a BSc of Environmental Science at the University of Canberra (UC), majoring in Applied Ecology and Water Science. Ewen is now doing an Honours in Science and Technology at UC, looking at how the sensitivity of eDNA surveys compares to traditional approaches for monitoring the Cane toad invasion occurring in the West Kimberly region. Ewen has also worked as a research assistant at both UC and the Australian National University, on projects focussing on the conservation of a range of species, including koalas, greater gliders, and green and golden bell frogs.
