Fiona Walsh's PhD is in Anthropology and Plant Biology (The University of Western Australia) with a major in Zoology. She has been taught by and learnt from Aboriginal and other desert people for more than thirty years. A priority of many Aboriginal people is to teach their children the complex culture, languages and knowledge of their ancestors to care for their country and generations to come. Fiona works to support these endeavours. See fionawalshecology.com
