Berndt Janse Van Rensburg coordinates the Master of Conservation program at the University of Queensland's School of the Environment. His research integrates biogeography, macroecology, and spatial ecology to address conservation challenges, with emphasis on identifying biodiversity patterns, conservation planning, and bioindicator species.

Research focuses on:

• Landscape-scale biodiversity patterns
• Ecosystem engineer impacts
• Monitoring technology applications
• Invasive species dynamics

Recent publications demonstrate innovative approaches to assessing termite mound ecosystem functions and establishing best practices for bioacoustic monitoring in conservation contexts.
