Dr Barry Traill AM is an Australian zoologist, conservationist and environmental campaigner. He grew up in Victoria and holds a bachelor's degree and PhD in terrestrial ecology from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.[1] Traill is the former Director of The Pew Charitable Trusts ' Australian Outback to Oceans program - joining the organisation in 2007 and leaving in 2020.[2] Traill has particular interest and expertise in the ecology of terrestrial birds and mammals and landscape-scale conservation of temperate and tropical woodlands and forests. Prior to joining Pew, he worked for 25 years as a conservation advocate and scientist for Australian state and national organisations.

Traill's work has led to the protection of the Box-Ironbark woodlands of Victoria, the cessation of the broadscale clearing of the Queensland bush,[3] and the creation of the world's largest network of marine parks. He was a founder of the Northern Australia Environment Alliance and, with conservationist Tim Low, he founded the Invasive Species Council in 2002.[4] With co-authors John Woinarski and Carol Booth he wrote a study on the future of Australia's Outback.[5]

Traill was a founding member and first board president of the Invasive Species Council (ISC).[6] The ISC are a policy, advocacy, lobbying, research, and outreach group on matters related to invasive species.

In the 2023 King's Birthday Honours List Barry Traill was made a Member in the General Division of Order of Australia (AM) for significant service to conservation and the environment in a range of roles.
