Student Profile

Protecting threatened bird species in the Murraylands Region.

Ben Kaethner

Ben Kaethner always wanted to study Natural Resources at university but he had a number of programs to choose from. He chose the Bachelor of Natural Resource Management [now available through the Bachelor of Science (Natural Resources)] at the University of Adelaide because of the broad choice of subjects available and the diverse directions it could take him.

Ben now works to protect the many threatened bird species in the Murraylands Region from fire destroying their habitat
