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.

该项目旨在指导保护bogong蛾的行动，bogong蛾是一种对澳大利亚具有深远文化，生态和经济重要性的濒危物种。虽然它们以史诗般的迁徙到澳大利亚阿尔卑斯山而闻名，但博公蛾的分布和飞行路线尚不清楚，这使得保护行动变得不可能。该项目希望建立关键的伙伴关系，并利用公众的热情，通过国家博公蛾天文台收集保护行动所需的数据。该项目的预期成果是提高识别和减轻对博贡蛾威胁的能力。这将为澳大利亚的全大陆保护提供一个高度可转移的模式。
