Management of rehabilitated bauxite mines to accelerate the return of vertebrate fauna.

这个项目将审查减少和焚烧地雷场地对陆地哺乳动物和爬行动物数量的影响。这个具有全国意义的项目将向西澳大利亚的资源管理人员提供森林砍伐和焚烧（用于木材生产和饮用水集水区）对脊椎动物影响的措施，并将提供管理工具，在生产性森林环境中保护生物多样性。预期的结果是加快脊椎动物群落返回矿区的程序，测量树木健康的间伐和焚烧做法，以及森林间伐（12000 Ha Wungong集水区）的试验程序，以尽量减少对陆地脊椎动物的影响。

This project will examine the effect of thinning and burning mine-site rehabilitation on the abundance of terrestrial mammals and reptiles. This nationally significant project will provide Resource Managers in Western Australia with measures of impacts of forestry thinning and burning (for timber production and drinking water catchment) on vertebrates, and will provide management tools to conserve biodiversity within productive forest environments. Expected outcomes are procedures to accelerate returns of vertebrate fauna to mine-sites, measurements of thinning and burning practices on tree-health, and trial procedures for forest thinning (the 12000 Ha Wungong catchment) that minimise impacts on terrestrial vertebrates.
