The project aims to develop novel decision-support tools to cost-effectively recover threatened ecosystems, through landscape-scale, evidence-based ecological restoration. This project expects to develop strategic frameworks to reverse ecosystem declines and promote recovery using a novel combination of ecological theory, expert elicitation, evidence synthesis and prioritisation techniques. Anticipated outcomes include decision-support tools for setting realistic recovery goals, identifying effective restoration actions and planning for full recovery of threatened ecosystems. This project should provide significant benefits to the Australian federal and state governments, by informing policy and management of threatened ecosystems.Read moreRead less
