Invertebrate conservation in the North East Forests of New South Wales
- GA126667-V2 - Project end date extended due to COVID-19 related and unseasonal weather delays. (11-Jan-2022 )
- GA126667-V1 - Grant timeframe has been extended from 30 June 2021 to 31 December 2021 (23-Jun-2021 )
We will develop a spatial, taxonomic and ecological information system for the resampling of priority invertebrate taxa across sites surveyed in the 1993 North East Forests survey. The project will nominate threatened invertebrate species, select putative sites for species recovery, develop tools for long-term monitoring, and capacity-building for on-ground conservation actions. Aside from meeting the statutory requirement for conserving threatened species, we will link with local and indigenous communities, as well as other stakeholders such as the citizen science sector. We will develop an invertebrate conservation framework, from the science bench to smart phone apps, mediated by capacity building workshops.
