Autor

Tyrone Lavery is a mammologist. He was first drawn to the South-west Pacific by a desire to search for undescribed species. He has studied many of its rare and unique mammals, discovering how they are related, where they occur and the threats they are facing. Tyrone endeavours to support Pacific Island communities through this research. Tim Flannery is a palaeontologist, explorer and conservationist. From the late 1980s, Tim's focus shifted towards the living mammals of Melanesia and the Pacific Islands. In 1995 he published comprehensive works on the biologically rich regions of New Guinea and the Pacific. Tim maintains a role in Pacific Island conservation efforts today via relationships with organisations and communities in Melanesia.
