Can animal dispersal inform fire management for species conservation?

该项目旨在改善澳大利亚北部环境后果的火灾管理。它将解决我们在理解火对生物多样性的影响方面的一个关键知识差距，这与景观中火的空间模式有关。这一点很重要，因为不断变化的火灾模式不仅对人类构成风险，而且对我们的环境产生重大影响。该项目将让研究人员、环境管理人员和土著土地所有者为生物多样性设计更好的火灾管理战略。主要的好处包括新的知识和工具，以更好地管理火灾和解决我们的主要环境挑战之一，即澳大利亚北部本土野生动物的减少。

This project aims to improve fire management for environmental outcomes in northern Australia. It will address a key knowledge gap in our understanding of the effects of fire on biodiversity, relating to the spatial pattern of fire in the landscape. This is important because changing patterns of fire are not only a risk to humans but have major effects on our environment. This project will involve researchers, environmental managers and indigenous land owners to design better fire management strategies for biodiversity. The key benefits include new knowledge and tools to better manage fire and address one of our major environmental challenges, the decline of native wildlife in northern Australia.
