Biodiversity is highly threatened in Australian cities. This project aims to prevent further wildlife loss by creating a blueprint for the ecological restoration of urban spaces. Working with seven Councils and three State government agencies in northern Sydney, this project will experimentally assess a new approach to conservation by restoring regionally-present but locally-missing wildlife. Expected outcomes include the restoration of ecosystem services provided by wildlife and increased opportunities for community engagement with nature. Project benefits include initiating rewilding in urban areas, improved public education on the benefits of restoring wildlife and greater potential to conserve our biodiversity and cultural heritage.

生物多样性在澳大利亚的城市中受到严重威胁。该项目旨在通过制定城市空间生态修复的蓝图，防止野生动物进一步丧失。该项目与悉尼北部的七个议会和三个州政府机构合作，将通过恢复区域存在但当地失踪的野生动物来试验性地评估一种新的保护方法。预期结果包括恢复野生动物提供的生态系统服务，增加社区与自然接触的机会。该项目的好处包括在城市地区启动重新野生动物活动，改善公众对恢复野生动物的好处的教育，以及更大的潜力来保护我们的生物多样性和文化遗产。
