Julian is passionate about the environment, education, life-long learning and building on shared knowledge systems. He has a PhD in Natural Resource Management from Charles Darwin University in Darwin Australia which looked at the commercial use of plant products and agribusiness potential for Aboriginal stakeholders, His professional interests relate to intact and functional landscapes and ecosystems, resilient communities, sustainable development, and valued Indigenous knowledge and practice (kaitiakitanga).
