This project aims to improve methods for capturing biological information required for environmental assessments of highly mobile species and enable strategic environmental planning in Northern Australia. Using Australia’s iconic ghost bat as a focus, the project will test and apply emerging technologies to obtain key information on a species’ population status and its critical resources to inform assessments of ecological impacts of industry development. Important benefits of the project include information and tools for streamlining development approvals and accurately assessing risks to threatened species to improve outcomes for both our economy and our natural environment.

该项目旨在改进捕获高流动性物种环境评估所需的生物信息的方法，并使北澳大利亚的战略环境规划成为可能。该项目将以澳大利亚标志性的幽灵蝙蝠为重点，测试和应用新兴技术，以获取物种种群状况及其关键资源的关键信息，为工业发展对生态影响的评估提供信息。该项目的重要好处包括简化开发审批和准确评估濒危物种风险的信息和工具，以改善我们的经济和自然环境的结果。
