Jeff Short has a background in mammalian ecology, and particularly in
the reconstruction of ecosystems and the reintroduction of threatened
fauna. He has a M.Sc. from the University of Sydney and a Ph.D. from
Murdoch University. Jeff began his
research career in West Africa working on the ecology of elephants in
rainforest, worked in eastern Australia on the ecology of rock-wallabies
and arid zone kangaroos and on the aerial survey of large kangaroos.  He moved to Western Australia in the late 1980s to work on
threatened mammals. This work
included the survey of offshore islands for threatened mammals and the
reintroduction of species to mainland Shark Bay. More recently he has been working on
conservation initiatives in fragmented agricultural systems as well as at
the intersection of production and conservation in the Pilbara and at Shark
Bay
