Kate Umbers, a biologist at Western Sydney University who studies the Australian alpine grasshopper,
is especially worried about the fate of the nation's 250,000 insect species, of which only about one-third have been named.
Uprooted by the religious violence that came with partition in 1947, Umber and his family moved to a safer locale in an attempt
to forge a new life for his family while keeping their true identities a secret from their community by bringing up his fourth daughter as a son.
