Australia's biological diversity underpins much of our economic wealth - for example the remarkable diversity of coral reefs fuels a multibillion dollar tourism industry. We will devise methods to make better decisions about where to invest conservation dollars amongst the biodiversity "hotspots" of the world and Australia to deliver environmental sustainability. We will solve the problem of how much of any environmental budget should be spent on monitoring conservation actions to make better and more cost-effective decisions. We will create new theory and freely available tools for building systems of marine reserves that allow for threats like coral bleaching and hurricanes.

澳大利亚的生物多样性支撑着我们的大部分经济财富-例如，珊瑚礁的非凡多样性为数十亿美元的旅游业提供了燃料。 我们将制定方法，更好地决定在世界和澳大利亚的生物多样性“热点”中投资保护资金，以实现环境的可持续性。 我们将解决一个问题，即任何环境预算中有多少应该用于监测保护行动，以作出更好和更具成本效益的决定。 我们将创造新的理论和免费提供的工具，用于建立海洋保护区系统，以应对珊瑚漂白和飓风等威胁。
