RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Sixteen species of birds were seen on or near Curtis Island. Only four species
were found breeding. The avifauna of Curtis Island is compared with that of nearby
small islands in Bass Strait. A hypothesis is proposed to account for the number
of health/forest passerine species that breed on Curtis, Great Glennie, Rodondo,
Hogan, Long and Deal Islands.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
