Conservation genetics and socio-ecology of marsupials in fragmented populations of south-eastern South Australia: towards a regional biodiversity management plan

栖息地的破坏和碎片化正在导致澳大利亚东部和南部原生森林中许多物种的减少。我们的项目将调查农业和林业的人类活动及其对当地森林生态系统的影响之间的相互作用。它将提供新的数据，说明在澳大利亚东南部和维多利亚州西部的农村和区域社区，本土哺乳动物物种分化的后果。它将在两家林业公司、保护机构和大学保护生物学家之间建立强有力的合作伙伴关系，以制定战略，可持续地管理本土森林的生物多样性，并保护稀有和受威胁的本土哺乳动物物种的数量。

Habitat destruction and fragmentation is causing the decline of many species in native forests of eastern and southern Australia. Our project will investigate the interplay between the human activities of agriculture and forestry and their effects on native forest ecosystems. It will provide new data on the consequences of fragmentation to native mammal species in the rural and regional communities of south-east South Australia and western Victoria. It will establish a strong collaborative partnership between two forestry companies, conservation agencies and university conservation biologists to develop strategies to sustainably manage biodiversity in native forests and conserve populations of rare and threatened native mammals species.
