Ecologist Claire Greenwell has dedicated her life to studying Western Australia’s fairy terns, an endangered seabird.

In 2019, Claire published her study which found that a single cat had wiped out an entire breeding colony in the town of Mandurah. The study went viral and highlighted the impact of both feral and pet cats on Australian wildlife.
