In part two of our conversation
with Professor Carolyn
Hogg, Research Manager of the Australasian Wildlife
Genomics Group at the University of Sydney, we dive deeper into the
science and strategy behind threatened species management.
Carolyn shares how her team is
developing crucial genetic data to guide conservation, including
breed-and-release programs with species like the
Tasmanian devil.
We discuss the vital role
of biodiversity in sustaining planetary health, and the
ambitious Earth Biogenome
Project, which aims to map the genomes of all 12 million
species of eukaryotic life on Earth.
Beyond the lab, Carolyn reveals
how genetic insights are shaping real-world decisions—bridging the
gap between cutting-edge science, social change, and the policies
that determine the future of our ecosystems.
