Thanks for visiting my website.  In my PhD research I examined the Tasmanian devil cancer research program and found that many studies, including those to confirm the contagious cancer theory, had not been undertaken.  There are other wildlife with cancers threatening their survival including the Green sea turtles in Moreton Bay, Queensland, the Beluga whales in the St Lawrence Estuary, Canada and the sea lions in the San Francisco Bay, United States.  In all four cases more studies need to be undertaken to determine if environmental pollution found in their habitats is the cause of the cancers.

I have been involved with activists, researchers and others in Tasmania seeking to address the widespread overuse of pesticides in eucalypt plantations and their harmful effects on commercial livestock and wildlife.  I have had a keen interest in the protection of wildlife and biodiversity because of its role as bioindicators to human health.   In New South Wales I have been involved in the protection of habitat for koalas, yellow-bellied gliders and other native species.  Many species of wildlife including koalas, wombats, platypus and frogs are threatened by disease.  The most harmful human activity is habitat destruction followed by environmental contamination.
