Protecting the Tasmanian wilderness from an expanding deer population

该项目旨在解决鹿对塔斯马尼亚州独特的敏感环境，特别是塔斯马尼亚荒野世界遗产区的威胁。它将分析塔斯马尼亚鹿的当前和潜在分布，描述它们对植被的影响，并测试这些对植被的影响如何与火灾相互作用。该项目将利用数据开发鹿的管理方案，以限制其对环境的影响，并防止未来对敏感环境的破坏。这将通过保护高价值的生态系统提供环境和经济效益。

This project aims to address the threats posed by deer to the unique sensitive environments in Tasmania, especially in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It will analyse the current and potential distribution of deer in Tasmania, describe their impacts on vegetation, and test how those impacts on vegetation interact with fire. The project will use data to develop options for management of deer to limit their environmental impacts, and to prevent future damage to sensitive environments. This will provide environmental and economic benefits by safeguarding ecosystems of high value.
