An unprecedented opportunity to quantify biodiversity recovery after major wildfire

澳大利亚南部最近发生的火灾表明，野火是该国面临的主要社会、经济和生态问题之一。生物多样性丧失和环境退化也是重大的国家问题。从该项目中获得的成果和新的理解，将通过制定更知情的、在生态上可持续的生物多样性保护、植被管理和火灾管理的原则和做法，对农村、区域、国家和国际产生巨大的好处。它还将指导自然资源管理人员，如国家公园工作人员和国家森林管理人员，采用最佳做法方法管理其管辖土地上的火灾后生态恢复。

Recent fire disasters in southern Australia emphasise that wildfire is one of the major social, economic and ecological issues facing the nation. Biodiversity loss and environmental degradation are also substantial national issues. The outcomes and new understanding obtained from this project will have enormous rural, regional, national and international benefits through developing better informed, and ecologically sustainable, principles and practices for biodiversity conservation, vegetation management, and fire management. It also will guide natural resource managers such as national park staff and state forest managers in best practice methods to manage post-fire ecological recovery on land under their jurisdiction.
