This project will deliver new and more robust methods for generating the information that underpins sound conservation and resource management decisions, with particular focus on new statistical techniques to predict species' distributions. Results will be relevant to a wide range of applications including management of rare and/or threatened species and ecosystems, setting realistic targets for species and ecosystem restoration, improved management of pest species, and sustainable harvesting of species. Emphasis will be placed on transfer of knowledge to users, fostering the development of new skills among Australian environmental and conservation managers, and contributing to the sustainable use of our biodiversity.

该项目将提供新的和更强大的方法，以产生支持声音保护和资源管理决策的信息，并特别侧重于预测物种分布的新统计技术。结果将与广泛的应用相关，包括稀有和/或受威胁物种和生态系统的管理，为物种和生态系统恢复设定现实的目标，改进有害物种的管理，以及可持续的物种收获。重点将放在向用户转让知识，促进澳大利亚环境和养护管理人员发展新技能，并为可持续利用我们的生物多样性做出贡献。
