Chris MacColl is a researcher at the University of Queensland and BirdLife Australia, known for his passionate advocacy for the red goshawk, Australia's rarest bird of prey. With a background as an environmental scientist at Rio Tinto, MacColl became fascinated with the species after discovering a nest in western Cape York. He has since dedicated his career to studying the red goshawk's behavior, habitat needs, and the threats it faces, particularly in light of its alarming decline and status as endangered.
