Surviving the inferno: how threatened macropods survive catastrophic fire

该项目旨在确定2019/20年灾难性的黑色夏季大火对受到威胁的沙袋鼠的影响，包括帕尔玛沙袋鼠(其整个分布的70%被烧毁)和红腿沙袋鼠。在这些大火之后，澳大利亚各地的野生动物遭到了灭顶之灾。该项目希望通过比较火灾前后被烧毁和未被烧毁的区域来产生新的知识，以确定它们对受到威胁的袋鼠保护生态的影响。该项目的预期成果包括更好地了解火灾对澳大利亚标志性野生动物的影响。这应该会大大提高我们降低这些物种在未来大火中的风险的能力。

This project aims to determine the impact of the catastrophic black summer fires of 2019/20 on threatened wallabies, including the parma wallaby (that had 70% of its entire distribution burnt) and the red-legged pademelon. Following these fires, wildlife across Australia has been decimated. This project expects to generate new knowledge by comparing burnt and unburnt areas before and after the fires to determine their impact on threatened wallaby conservation ecology. The expected outcomes of this project include improved understanding of the impact of fires on Australia's iconic wildlife. This should significantly improve our ability to reduce the risk on these species in future megafires.
