Protected areas are the primary mechanism for conserving Australia's unique biodiversity. Of added significance are areas of biodiversity recognised as World Heritage Areas, such as the GBMWA. Climate, pest species and altered fire regimes potentially diminish their ecological values but some of these anthropogenic threats can be managed. Effective management depends on spatially-explicit understanding that allows priorities to be set and management objectives identified and tested. This research will develop a model for determining management priorities for large protected areas, meeting State, National and International obligations. Significant conservation benefits will accrue along with social, economic and human well-being benefits.

保护区是保护澳大利亚独特生物多样性的主要机制。更重要的是被确认为世界遗产的生物多样性地区，如GBMWA。气候、害虫种类和火灾状况的改变可能会降低其生态价值，但其中一些人为威胁是可以控制的。有效的管理取决于对空间的明确理解，从而可以确定优先事项，确定和测试管理目标。这项研究将制定一个模式，以确定大型保护区的管理优先事项，满足国家、国家和国际义务。在社会、经济和人类福祉惠益的同时，还将产生沿着的重大养护惠益。
