Genetic rescue of Australian wildlife. This project aims to test genetic rescue as an efficient recovery technique for threatened plants and animals. Genetic rescue is under-utilised, even though it is overwhelmingly beneficial. This project will convert management actions on five Endangered/Critically Endangered species into rigorous experiments that measure the fitness benefits of genetic rescue, and demonstrate genome-wide consequences. Anticipated outcomes include innovative genetic rescue protocols, a framework for genetic rescue, and leading-edge conservation training. Expected benefits are increased persistence of species that are otherwise unresponsive to management, and a new path to saving endangered species.

澳大利亚野生动物的基因拯救。该项目旨在测试基因拯救作为受威胁植物和动物的有效恢复技术。基因拯救被低估了，尽管它是非常有益的。该项目将把对五种濒危/极度濒危物种的管理行动转化为严格的实验，以衡量基因拯救的健康益处，并展示全基因组后果。预期成果包括创新的遗传拯救协议、遗传拯救框架和前沿保护培训。预期的好处是增加物种的持久性，否则不响应管理，并拯救濒危物种的新途径。
