Description

Uncovering mechanisms of species decline to prevent extinctions. This project aims to improve biodiversity conservation outcomes in Australia by developing and applying novel analytical methods to uncover where, when and why species decline. Expected outcomes include the first continent-wide analysis of long-term range shifts among Australian terrestrial vertebrates and identification of how threats and the environment interact to determine patterns of species decline. This new knowledge should reveal why different populations and different species display different threat responses. Expected major benefits are new analytical tools and knowledge for land managers to prioritise conservation actions, supporting the Australian Government’s commitment to no new extinctions..
