We all know that our actions have an effect on wildlife, but we often don't know enough about the important details. Through its grants program Wildlife Queensland, funded by its Endangered Species Trust, is supporting research by university students so we can better understand key interactions in our ecosystems.
The 2011 program attracted many excellent applications and the following five successful applicants each receive $1000 towards their research project.
