Increasing the effectiveness of Australian threatened bird conservation

保护濒危物种是昂贵的，成功是罕见的或短暂的。分析近三十年的濒危物种保护管理，并了解影响成功的复杂因素，将有助于提高保护规划的效率。更好地了解养护管理所处的生物、经济、社会和体制环境将有助于管理人员适当分配资源。这种类型的分析从未在大陆范围内对整个动物群进行过，将具有全球意义。 此外，调查人员所连接的网络将确保调查结果能够迅速转化为实践。

Conservation of threatened species is expensive and success rare or fleeting. Analysis of nearly three decades of threatened species conservation management, and an understanding of the complex of factors that affect success, will help increase the efficiency of conservation planning. Improved understanding of the biological, economic, social and institutional environment within which conservation management occurs will help managers allocate resources appropriately. This type of analysis has never been done for an entire fauna at a continental scale and will have global significance. Furthermore the networks to which the investigators are connected will ensure that the results can be rapidly translated into practice.
