Funded Activity Summary
Is reintroduction of soil foraging animals critical for the restoration of degraded semi-arid woodlands? Locally-extinct animals are important, not only for their intrinsic value, but because they are thought to be essential for maintaining and restoring healthy ecosystems. This project will give us valuable insights into how ecosystems may have functioned prior to the loss of native animals, and how ecosystems can be restored when the animals are reintroduced. Our research will provide Australian Wildlife Conservancy with the knowledge they need to continue their reintroductions, and information that encourages land managers to adopt strategies to ensure the survival of reintroduced animals outside of formal reserves.Funded Activity Details
