Amanda Lilleyman

Dr. Amanda Lilleyman is a Researcher at Charles Darwin University's Northern Institute, part of the Faculty of Arts & Society. She specializes in avian conservation, migratory bird ecology, and collaborative research with Indigenous communities. Her work emphasizes coastal ecosystems, endangered shorebird management, and the integration of traditional knowledge into conservation practices.

Her research focuses on spatial ecology of migratory species, human-wildlife interactions, and policy implications of climate change threats. Key projects include long-term shorebird monitoring programs, analysis of habitat utilization, and studies on indigenous land overlap with critical bird habitats.

Recent publications highlight the importance of First Peoples' knowledge in species recovery, the impacts of climate change on threatened birds, and the behavioral adaptations of shorebirds to environmental changes. Her work bridges ecological science with community engagement, advocating for culturally informed conservation strategies.

Collaborative efforts include two-way research partnerships with Indigenous groups, emphasizing equitable knowledge exchange and policy development. While no scientific awards are listed, her contributions to coastal and avian conservation are notable in regional and international contexts.
