Amber Harrison is a conservation keeper at Symbio Wildlife Park and a Doctor of Philosophy student at the University of Wollongong. Her work focuses on conservation breeding and reintroduction programs for threatened Australian species, including the Southern Stuttering Frog (Mixophyes australis), Green and Golden Bell Frog (Ranoidea aurea) and Bellinger River Snapping Turtle (Myuchelys georgesi). Her research investigates ways to improve the effectiveness and outcomes of conservation breeding programs through targeted research. Amber is particularly interested in understanding how captive management and research can be integrated to improve reintroduction success of threatened species.
