Conserving native wildlife during urbanisation: the effectiveness of biodiversity-friendly urban design and construction practices

城市化对本地野生动物及其栖息地有许多负面影响，但生物多样性友好的城市设计和建设实践可能会大大减少这些影响。这项研究将审查这些措施在城市发展地点维持野生动物的有效性，因此将为当地居民和更广泛的澳大利亚社区带来重大利益。城市地区健康的自然生态系统为公众提供了许多服务，减少了昂贵的管理需求，并改善了生活在绿色环境中的居民的生计。这项研究将通过详细审查有利于生物多样性的城市发展措施的有效性，加强所有这些社区利益。

Urbanisation has many negative effects upon native wildlife and their habitats, but biodiversity-friendly urban design and construction practices may greatly reduce these impacts. This study will examine the effectiveness of such measures at sustaining wildlife at sites of urban development, and will therefore produce significant benefits for local residents and the broader Australian community. Healthy natural ecosystems in urban areas provide many services to the public, reduce the need for costly management, and improve the livelihood of residents living in greener environments. This study will enhance all these community benefits through a detailed examination of the effectiveness of biodiversity-friendly urban development measures.
