From Biodiversity to Health: Performing the first genetic audits of Australia

该项目将建立一种快速测量环境生物多样性的新技术，无论是森林等自然资源，还是供水或医院中的病原体。该方法是快速，低成本，并将提供更高的分辨率比目前的方法。它将提供一些有史以来第一次全面的环境影响评估，允许负责任的资源开发，为工业和经济带来重大利益。它还为从环境和遗产部到联邦警察局的政府机构提供了一个共同平台，并将创造新的工具来改善水管理、生物安全、法医/警务和人类健康，支持该项目的广泛行业合作伙伴反映了这一点。

This project will establish a new technology for the rapid measurement of environmental biodiversity, whether that be in natural resources such as forests, or pathogens in water supplies or hospitals. The method is fast, low-cost and will provide much higher resolution than current methods. It will provide some of the first ever comprehensive environmental impact assessments, permitting responsible resource development with major benefits to industry and the economy. It also provides a common platform for government agencies, from Department of Environment and Heritage to the Federal Police, and will create new tools to improve water management, biosecurity, forensics/policing and human health, as reflected by the wide range of industry partners supporting the project.
