The monsoonal tropics is a large region with unique yet poorly understood biodiversity. It is undergoing rapid agricultural, urban and tourist development, all of which threaten the sustainability of that biodiversity. The region includes three World Heritage areas, all with flora in their listed values: Kakadu National Park, Purnulu NP (Bungle Bungles) and Riversleigh. Additionally, the Kimberley is considered one of the last great wilderness areas in the world. This project will help us understand the evolutionary and geographic origins of the biodiversity of the monsoonal tropics, including the World Heritage areas, and it will identify those components that are uniquely Australian and therefore have the greatest heritage values.

热带季风区是一个拥有独特但鲜为人知的生物多样性的广阔地区。它正在经历农业、城市和旅游业的快速发展，所有这些都威胁到生物多样性的可持续性。该地区包括三个世界遗产区，它们都有植物群：卡卡杜国家公园，普尔努鲁NP（邦格尔邦格尔）和里弗斯利。此外，金伯利被认为是世界上最后的大荒野地区之一。这个项目将帮助我们了解季风热带地区生物多样性的进化和地理起源，包括世界遗产地区，它将确定那些独特的澳大利亚组成部分，因此具有最大的遗产价值。
