2024 RUSCCF Scholarship Awardee - Caitlin (Caitie) Willis, PhD Student at UniSC

Caitlin Willis is a PhD candidate at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Caitlin’s research investigates how urbanisation influences terrestrial fauna in coastal wetlands. Her work examines restoration success, the role of invasive species, and the potential of wetlands as biodiversity corridors for native wildlife. Caitlin’s findings aim to inform more effective wetland conservation and restoration strategies in increasingly urbanised coastal landscapes.

Caitlin also collaborates with Wild Asia, Malaysia, a non-for-profit enterprise, where she is working to improve palm oil plantations for terrestrial fauna biodiversity.
