This Ask Me Anything session invites ACTS members to engage directly with Rachael Miller, Sustainability Coordinator (Biodiversity) at the University of Melbourne.
Rachael will respond to your questions on measuring, managing and improving biodiversity outcomes across campus environments. Her work has focused on developing practical, scalable approaches to understanding biodiversity, including the Biodiversity Baseline Data Project (BBDP), which has helped establish clearer metrics, inform institutional targets, and guide investment in biodiversity initiatives.
This is an open, member-led session. You are encouraged to bring questions, challenges or ideas, whether you are starting to explore biodiversity on campus or looking to strengthen existing approaches. Topics may include:
- Establishing biodiversity baselines and selecting meaningful metrics
- Translating biodiversity goals into measurable outcomes
- Using data to inform planning, reporting and investment
- Engaging students through internships and living lab approaches
- Navigating common challenges in biodiversity projects
Rachael’s approach is grounded in systems thinking and practical implementation, with a strong focus on sharing tools, lessons and approaches that others can adapt to their own context.
