Abstract

Performing Arts and Creative Writing extinction
This paper will address my published research into the extinction of three Australian and one New Zealand animal: specifically the thylacine [Tasmania], the gastric brooding frog [Conondale], the paradise parrot [Burdekin], and the flightless wren [Cook Straits]. Each animal was made extinct in recent times by the incursion of Europeans, particularly their acquisition of land for primary production and their carelessness of the fate of indigenous animals that originally occupied that land. The paper will outline the research methodologies, publication strategies and national impact of the published research.
