Can animal dispersal inform fire management for species conservation?

该项目旨在改善北方澳大利亚的火灾管理，以实现环境成果。它将解决我们在了解火灾对生物多样性的影响方面的一个关键知识空白，涉及景观中火灾的空间格局。这一点很重要，因为不断变化的火灾模式不仅对人类构成风险，而且对我们的环境产生重大影响。该项目将使研究人员、环境管理人员和土著土地所有者参与设计更好的生物多样性火灾管理战略。主要的好处包括新的知识和工具，以更好地管理火灾和解决我们的主要环境挑战之一，在北方澳大利亚本土野生动物的下降。

This project aims to improve fire management for environmental outcomes in northern Australia. It will address a key knowledge gap in our understanding of the effects of fire on biodiversity, relating to the spatial pattern of fire in the landscape. This is important because changing patterns of fire are not only a risk to humans but have major effects on our environment. This project will involve researchers, environmental managers and indigenous land owners to design better fire management strategies for biodiversity. The key benefits include new knowledge and tools to better manage fire and address one of our major environmental challenges, the decline of native wildlife in northern Australia.
