This project aims to direct conservation actions for the bogong moth, an endangered species of profound cultural, ecological, and economic importance to Australians. Although iconic and famous for their epic migration to the Australian Alps, the bogong moth's distribution and flyways are unknown making conservation actions impossible. This project expects to forge the key partnerships and harness public enthusiasm to generate the data needed for conservation actions via a National Bogong Moth Observatory. The expected outcomes of this project are enhanced capacity to identify and mitigate threats to bogong moths. This should provide significant benefits such as a highly transferable model for continent-wide conservation in Australia.

该项目旨在为Bogong Moth进行保护行动，Bogong Moth是一种濒临灭绝的物种，对澳大利亚人具有深远的文化，生态和经济意义。尽管标志性地以史诗般的迁移到澳大利亚阿尔卑斯山而闻名，但Bogong Moth的分布和飞行道路是不可能的。该项目希望建立关键的合作伙伴关系，并引起公众的热情，以通过国家Bogong飞蛾天文台产生保护行动所需的数据。该项目的预期结果是识别和减轻对Bogong飞蛾的威胁的能力增强。这应该提供巨大的好处，例如在澳大利亚范围内保护大陆保护的高度转移模型。
