WEBINAR | Life in the Great Australian Desert
Originally presented April 8, 2024
The vast Australian Outback covers more than a million square miles, much of it arid and semi-arid desert. But the driest continent on earth is far from barren. In the great Australian desert, coping strategies developed over millennia support a unique and thriving ecosystem. Expedition Leader Nikki Sentinella offers insight into the immense biodiversity of Australia’s ancient desert landscape and its wildlife, from the country's largest terrestrial mammal, the red kangaroo, to frogs buried underground for years between rains, and so much more.

The Andes, the Alps and…Australia? It may not be the first place you think of when you picture snow-capped mountains, but the land down under is home to several alpine ecosystems. In part two of her series exploring the biomes of Australia, Expedition Leader Nikki Sentinella takes us to new heights to explore the continent’s alpine environs, including the island of Tasmania, which boasts nearly half of Australia's alpine flora species. Along the way we’ll meet some elevation-loving animals, like the mountain pygmy possum, echidna and corroboree frog.

Australia's rain forests are so old that some of the species they contain predate the dinosaurs! These ancient life forms also connect Australia to the supercontinent of Gondwana. In this new webinar series, Expedition Leader Nikki Sentinella introduces us to the different biomes of Australia, beginning with rain forests. Explore the diversity of Australia's rain forests, from the famed Daintree Rainforest in the north to cool-climate rain forests in the south. Nikki also shares her tips for photography in rain forests, including advice for shooting in low light, and macro photography techniques.
