Ep 15: RE-RUN w/ Geoff Williams | Platypus Reintroduction to River Torrens + Australian Platypus Conservancy + career in wildlife conservation + platypus + urban adaptability + conservation strategies

Green Adelaide Podcast

You might not know that August is known as Platypus Month.
So to celebrate this iconic Australian creature we’ll be re-running our episode all about platypuses and reintroducing them to metro Adelaide with the fun and knowledgeable Geoff Williams from the Australian Platypus Conservatory.
I’ll be back with a new ep for the pod next month!
This episode we’ll be diving deep into the details of re-introducing platypus to an urban area with platypus expert Geoff Williams from the Australian Platypus Conservancy. The Conservancy is a non-profit environmental organisation that was set up in 1994 to conserve the platypus and its freshwater habitats.
The Green Adelaide Podcast is your insider scoop on all things cool, green, and wild in metropolitan South Australia.
We feature the experts, including the leaders and ecologists to the planners and marketers to chat the people, projects, and news of SA that you, our enviro-listeners, must know about.
I’m your host Melissa Martin and I’m the Communication Manager at Green Adelaide.
