About Us

Our Mission

At Wombat Ecosystem, we are passionately dedicated to the conservation and study of the wombat, a remarkable and resilient marsupial native to Australia’s diverse landscapes. Our mission is to provide accurate, up-to-date, and fascinating information about this species, aiming to raise awareness and appreciation for its ecological importance and its role in maintaining healthy ecosystems

Through our research and outreach efforts, we strive to foster a deeper understanding and respect for these unique burrowers and the challenges they face due to habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental threats

Our Team

We are a team of seven passionate zoologists dedicated to wildlife conservation, with a special focus on the wombat. Our expertise leads us to the diverse habitats where these remarkable marsupials thrive, from the rugged terrains of Australia’s mountainous regions to its open woodlands and grasslands

Whenever possible, we set out on expeditions to explore the diverse and rugged landscapes where wombats thrive. These field journeys allow us to study wombats in their natural habitats, observe their behaviors firsthand, and capture stunning photographs that showcase the unique beauty of these remarkable marsupials and their environments

Allow us to introduce ourselves:

Dr. Tahlia Koori

Specialization: Animal Behavior and Communication

Tahlia Koori is an internationally recognized authority on wombat behavior, specializing in the complex ways these remarkable marsupials communicate and interact within their environments

Holding a doctorate in Wildlife Ecology, Tahlia has spent over a decade immersed in groundbreaking research, uncovering the nuanced social structures and survival strategies of wombats in their native habitats. Her work has provided invaluable insights into how wombats use scent markings, vocalizations, and body language to connect with one another, establish territories, and adapt to their surroundings

Tahlia’s passion for Australia’s unique wildlife began during her childhood, where she developed a deep appreciation for the country’s diverse ecosystems. This early love for native fauna fueled her unwavering commitment to understanding and preserving wombat populations. Beyond her research, Tahlia actively participates in conservation initiatives, advocating for habitat protection and public education to ensure a sustainable future for these iconic creatures

Her dedication to sharing knowledge has also made her a sought-after speaker at international wildlife conferences, and her research is frequently featured in leading academic journals and media outlets. Tahlia’s work continues to inspire new generations of conservationists and deepen our understanding of the wombat’s role in Australia’s fragile ecosystems
