The economic wealth of Australia is underpinned by its remarkable biological diversity. However, land and water degradation are eroding Australia's natural asset base damaging industries such as tourism, fisheries, and forestry. Given limited funds for biodiversity conservation, we need to minimise the misallocation of resources by making wise investments. This research will result in frameworks and tools to ensure that we maximise the protection of biological diversity and the delivery of ecosystem services (such as clean water) that are important for human well-being. We will share the results of our research with decision makers, scientists, and the general public.

澳大利亚的经济财富是由其非凡的生物多样性所支撑的。然而，土地和水资源的退化正在侵蚀澳大利亚的自然资产基础，破坏旅游业、渔业和林业等产业。鉴于用于生物多样性保护的资金有限，我们需要通过明智的投资来尽量减少资源的错误分配。这项研究将产生框架和工具，以确保我们最大限度地保护生物多样性和提供对人类福祉至关重要的生态系统服务（如清洁水）。我们将与决策者、科学家和公众分享我们的研究成果。
