Dr Holly Bradley is a conservation scientist based in Perth. She recently completed a PhD on the ecology of the meelyu, the Western Spiny-tailed Skink, using novel techniques such as plasticine models and lidar imaging. During her research, Holly collaborated with a local traditional owner from the Badimia community, to share knowledge on this threatened species. Together, they are writing a picture book in the critically endangered Badimia language, sharing the story of the meelyu to generations to come.
