Liam Bolitho

Liam Bolitho is a Research Officer with the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University where he coordinates a monitoring program investigating the impacts of the 2019–20 bushfires on the montane rainforest frogs in the genus Philoria. Liam combines his interests in conservation ecology, species recovery programs, and emerging technologies for wildlife research by working on a range of conservation projects. His fieldwork has included coral reef restoration in South-East Asia, long-term population monitoring of alpine bird species and their invasive predators in the New Zealand Alps, two breeding seasons with the Kākāpō recovery team on the remote islands of Fiordland, New Zealand, and resolving data deficiencies in Endangered montane rainforest frogs in eastern Australia. Liam has a keen interest in understanding the processes affecting the distribution, dynamics and interactions of threatened species to inform their management, conservation, and restoration.
