Kenji Sabine moved to Tasmania for a low-paying gig exploring the state's most remote locations, but when funding dried up he said he'd do it for free.
abc.net.au/news/kenji-sabine-deploys-network-trail-cameras-remote-tasmania/101776736Last year, Kenji Sabine paid more in taxes as an oil and gas industry worker than what he earns in his current role as a wilderness trailblazer, but he's so passionate about it he says he'd do it for free.
The camera network is being installed to support scientific research and will be used by academics and PhD candidates at the university.Mr Sabine said a "bushman's creed" of not sharing knowledge to protect environmental integrity meant there was little information about the areas to which he and his team travelled.
"When I look at all these spatial layers and use my own experience about what the understorey would look like, you can start to piece together a path of least resistance but also the path that's most safe."It was his curiosity about a "giant" Tasmanian devil scat that led to Mr Sabine landing the camera-deploying role.
