RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Emeritus Professor Bill Jackson is remembered as an academic, botanist, ecologist and geneticist. He was all of these things and much more. He was a truly inspirational teacher who made time available to students regardless of what else was on. An insightful researcher, he established the core principles of ecological theory that describe the processes shaping the Tasmanian vegetation. He was a leader and visionary who saw the way forward in botanical research and fostered its development over nearly 50 years.

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.
