RUSSELL GUÉHO- NORTHERN HABITAT (BROOME)

Russell Gueho has published many discussion papers, newsletters, held fundraising and awareness events and generated media on the predictions of impacts of the cane toad and strategies to control them, since 2003. He was arguably the first person to alert Western Australians to the environmental, social, and economic threats that cane toads bring us.

Russell is currently lecturing in tourism at the Kimberley College of TAFE (Broome Campus). A qualified workplace trainer his major project in 2005 was the development of indigenous tourism on the Dampier Peninsula. Russell’s employment background spans a diverse 20 years. He was employed as a District Wildlife Officer with the (then) Department of Fisheries and Wildlife for 16 years and held positions all over Western Australia and eventually Kununurra where he spent 10 years as the East Kimberley District Wildlife Officer.

Russell has travelled extensively throughout the region and has a passion for the ongoing preservation and care for the wilderness region. Russell has written two books, Icons of the Kimberley, (December 2003), which provides an overview of the area and the second, Rhythm (due for release late 2006), focusing on the seasons of the Kimberley.

His second book ‘Rhythms of the Kimberley: A Seasonal Journey Through Australia's North’ is out and was released in 2007.
